NOTICE DATE: May 29, 2009
NOTICE TYPE: M-C052909-01 TCR
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Change in the delivery of TCR Revenue
Allocation
INTENDED AUDIENCE: QSEs
DAY AFFECTED: June 1, 2009
LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT Client Services provides an email sent
on or prior to the 15th of each month, to Qualified Scheduling
Entities (QSE) with Load for the amount that will be received by the QSE based
on the Transmission Congestion Right (TCR) Revenue Allocation. These TCR
Revenue Allocation emails contain similar information to the QSE Settlement
statements found on Texas Market Link (TML). These files are the result of a
manual process and are currently emailed to Market Participants.
In order to
increase the efficiency, timeliness and security of the delivery of these
files, ERCOT will begin posting these files on TML in a folder marked
MISCELLANEOUS in each QSE’s folder. The MISCELLANEOUS folder will only
appear once data has been posted in it, and then remain visible. Once the
transition is complete, all TCR Revenue Allocation files will be delivered
through this method only.
Posting TCR Revenue
Allocation files to the MISCELLANEOUS folder will remain on the same schedule
used currently.
ACTION REQUIRED: ERCOT will cease email delivery of these
files on June 1, 2009. ERCOT has posted a test file in each QSE’s TML
folder. Please ensure that you are able to download and read this file as
appropriate. The naming convention of the file is as follows:
MSC.<Post Date>. <MP Number>_<MP
Name>_<Auction Month>.XLS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The MISCELLANEOUS folder will be found
in the QSE’s TML list of folders. Access to this folder will require a
Digital Certificate with the “Reports” role assigned. If you
don’t already have a Digital Certificate and require access, please
contact your company’s User Security Administrator (USA).
The MISCELLANEOUS
folder will also be used to post other files such as ad-hoc settlement invoices
and supporting files.
All files posted to
the MISCELLANEOUS folder will remain visible for 30 days before rolling off.
