SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Unit Test Web Application

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  QSEs with Generation Resources

DAY AFFECTED:  December 1, 2008

LONG DESCRIPTION:  The Net Dependable Capability and Reactive Capability (NDCRC) application has been available for Market Participants (MPs) through the Texas Market Link (TML) since September 1, 2008.  This application is a web interface that allows Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) with Generation Resources to submit the ERCOT-required seasonal High Sustainable Limit (HSL), biennial unit tests, and results of the unannounced tests online.  Please note that for Jointly Owned Units (JOUs), only the Master QSE should submit the Seasonal HSL, and the HSL submitted should reflect the whole physical unit. 

Effective December 1, 2008 (Winter Season), use of the NDCRC application is mandatory for submitting seasonal, biennial unit tests and results of unannounced tests.  Paper copies will not be accepted after December 1, 2008.

ACTION REQUIRED:  ERCOT requests that MPs promptly submit results of unannounced tests within 24 hours of test completion. Failure to submit the required information or inform ERCOT of the inability to submit the information will result in the outcome of an unannounced test being decided solely based on data collected by ERCOT.

CONTACT:  If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via e-mail at [log in to unmask].
