SHORT DESCRIPTION:  REMINDER - Pursuant to PUC Rule, ERCOT is requesting data from Load-Serving Entities related to Dynamic Pricing and Demand Response capabilities of their customers.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Load Serving Entities

DAY AFFECTED:  June 15, 2013 (snapshot); August 1, 2013 (files due at ERCOT)

LONG DESCRIPTION:  Pursuant to PUC Subst. Rule §25.505(e) (5), “Load serving entities (LSEs) shall provide ERCOT with complete information on load response capabilities that are self-arranged or pursuant to bilateral agreements between LSEs and their customers”

ERCOT is requesting that Retail Electric Providers (REPs) analyze their retail dynamic pricing and demand response-related products and associate each ESI ID enrolled in the products into the categories listed and described in the technical specification document that is posted to the Demand Response Programs key documents (http://www.ercot.com/services/programs/load/). Collecting premise-level data on retail products will allow ERCOT to perform statistical analysis in an effort to quantify retail demand response and track trends.

All LSEs are required to report load response capabilities pursuant to the PUC Rule. However, the audience for this market notice is limited to REPs. ERCOT will contact Non-opt In LSEs directly with reporting instructions. 

·         REPs that do not have programs will not have to submit a file.

·         REPs that have ESI IDs enrolled in the named products shall create and submit a file to ERCOT via NAESB Electronic Delivery Mechanism (EDM)

·         File format and data elements are defined in the attached technical specification document.

·         If an ESI ID is enrolled in a product with a definition that spans multiple categories, the REP should list the ESI ID multiple times in the file, once for each category

·         First file will be a snapshot representing ESI IDs enrolled in these retail products as of June 15, 2013.

·         Target date for submission of the completed file to ERCOT is August 1, 2013.


 

·         Notes from June 11, 2013 WebEx are posted to the meeting calendar.

 

 

ACTION REQUIRED:  REPs shall create and submit to ERCOT a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file via NAESB EDM by August 1, 2013.
