SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Request for information in support of NERC-TRE Audit


 

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  QSEs with Resources

 

DAY AFFECTED:  September 9 - 12, 2008

 

LONG DESCRIPTION:  The North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC) and the Texas Regional Entity (TRE) will be conducting a
reliability audit of ERCOT from September 9 through September 12, 2008.
ERCOT will be audited as the Reliability Coordinator (RC), Transmission
Operator (TOP), Balancing Authority (BA), and the Transmission Service
Provider (TSP) for the ERCOT region.

 

ERCOT registered Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSE) that represent
Resources may possess information needed for ERCOT to demonstrate
compliance with NERC Balancing Authority (BA) requirements. Though
preliminary review with the QSE Managers Working Group (QWMG) indicated
that ERCOT would not require information from QSEs, the auditors may
demand such information. 

 

Should any such information within the possession of a QSE be required
to fulfill a request by the audit team, ERCOT will contact the relevant
QSE(s) and will expect each entity to submit the requested information
promptly. 

 

To assist with expediting audit requests, ERCOT is asking each QSE to
designate a primary and secondary contact that will be available by
phone from Sept 9 - 12, 2008.  These contacts should be able to promptly
submit any requested documentation. The contacts should also be able to
respond as a subject matter expert to any auditor questions on
information provided to the auditor. 

 

ACTION REQUIRED:  Each QSE should send the following contact information
for each designated primary and secondary contact to
