SHORT DESCRIPTION: Results of the EILS procurement for the April – May 2011 Contract Period
INTENDED AUDIENCE: QSE Settlement Personnel

LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT has released the results of its procurement of Emergency Interruptible Load Service (EILS) for the Contract Period of April 1, 2011, through May 31, 2011.
This procurement of EILS was authorized by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) at its Open Meeting on March 24, 2011, by unanimous approval of ERCOT’s petition for an emergency rulemaking under Project No. 39191. The emergency rule amends PUC Substantive Rule 25.507 (a) by adding a new subparagraph (5) that waives, on a one-time basis applicable to this Contract Period only, the 90-day advance notice requirement for ERCOT to make a change to the regular Contract Period schedule.
PUC Substantive Rule 25.507 (f) requires ERCOT to report publicly the number of MW procured per Time Period, the number of Resources providing the service and the projected total cost of the service for that Contract Period within 10 days of the awards for a Contract Period. Award notifications were delivered to Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) via the Nodal Market Information System (MIS) and have now been executed.
The results of this procurement are as follows:
