DESCRIPTION: On
November 13, 2008, ERCOT issued a Protocol
Clarification/Interpretation (attached) regarding subsection (2)
in Protocol Section 6.5.7.1, Generation Resources Required to Provide VSS
Installed Reactive Capability, and subsection (5) in Protocol Section 6.7.6,
Deployment of Voltage Support Service, surrounding Reactive Power capability
requirements.
Since that
time, ERCOT has discovered that it failed to follow the full procedural
requirements in P.U.C. Substantive Rule 25.503(i), Official Interpretation and
Clarification Regarding the Protocols, before issuing its November 13, 2008
Protocol Clarification/Interpretation on Reactive Power capability
requirements. Specifically, P.U.C.
Substantive Rule 25.503(i)(3) requires that ERCOT consult with Public Utility
Commission of Texas (PUCT) Staff before issuing an official Protocol
Clarification/Interpretation. ERCOT
Staff neglected to consult with PUCT Staff prior to the issuance of the Protocol
Clarification/Interpretation. As
such, ERCOT withdraws the November 13, 2008 Protocol
Clarification/Interpretation on this limited
procedural issue. ERCOT’s opinion of the ERCOT Protocol
Reactive Power capability requirements is unchanged.
