SHORT DESCRIPTION:  TSP Model Validation assistance from ERCOT
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Transmission Service Provider Account Executives and Transmission Service Provider Project Managers, ROS, NATF
DAYS AFFECTED:  March 24, 2010
LONG DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT will host a WebEx session Wednesday, March 24, 2010, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM for the purposes of being able to answer questions and orient TSPs to the tools and data within the Network Model Management System for completing Network Operation Model validation efforts.  More details will be posted to the ERCOT calendar including an agenda and reflecting the WebEx information below (follow-up market notice).
ERCOT requests that TSPs RSVP to the workshop and email any questions ahead of time.  This will help ERCOT to best assist companies with information in completing their model validation efforts ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).  If your company has not completed its model validation efforts and has questions, this is the opportunity to ask questions of ERCOT and get a NMMS system re-orientation.
At this point 90% of equipment has been validated and is due by March 31, 2010.  After this date, TSPs will be downgraded to "red" in nodal metrics if not complete by that time as part of metric MP-14C (http://scorecard.ercot.com/mp/group_metrics/4 ).
