DESCRIPTION:
Protocol Section 7.2.3, Determining Closely Related Elements (CREs), provides that ERCOT staff may propose modifications
to the list of CREs and shall present modifications to
TAC for approval; if TAC takes no action within seven days, the proposed
modification shall be deemed approved.
On August 22, 2008, ERCOT proposed
modifications to the list of CREs to TAC. Per the ERCOT Bylaws and TAC procedures,
an act of TAC requires affirmative votes of 67% of the eligible Representatives
of TAC. The email vote of the TAC
on the ERCOT CRE proposal failed to receive the prerequisite number of votes to
be declared an act of TAC.
Therefore, TAC took no action on the proposed CRE modifications, and
ERCOT implemented the following change on Operating Day August 29,
2008:
·
Replace current
WN and NW CRE, Sweetwater to Graham, with two new CREs
(Sweetwater – Long Creek and Long Creek – Graham)
The October TCR Auction taking place
September 9 – 11, 2008, will contain this additional
change:
·
Replace
current CRE, Graham to Long Creek, with two new CREs
(Graham – Cook Field and Cook Field – Long Creek)
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
The Cook Field station is currently scheduled to be
energized in mid-October 2008. A
market notice describing the operational impacts will be issued closer to the
time of its actual in-service.
