As required by the ERO Fee Assessment and Collection Guide, ERCOT posted the Adjusted Metered Load (AML) data for each Load Serving Entity (LSE) by August 1 for the previous calendar year for use in calculating the Net Energy for Load (NEL) for the following year (January 1 through December 31). ERCOT has posted each LSE's load data for calendar year 2008 on the Texas Market Link (TML) in the ERO_Fee_LRS folder.
The MISCELLANEOUS folder is found in the QSE's TML list of folders. Access to this folder will require a Digital Certificate with the "Reports" role assigned.
