SHORT DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT to provide credit training related to the implementation of NPRR484
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  CRRAH and QSE credit and settlement personnel
DAY AFFECTED:  September 6, 2013 (registration deadline)

LONG DESCRIPTION:  Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 484, Revisions to Congestion Revenue Rights Credit Calculations and Payments, will replace the Congestion Revenue Rights (CRR) Auction credit calculations with path-specific exposure calculations based on Day-Ahead Market (DAM) clearing prices over a rolling period. This revises the Future Credit Exposure (FCE) calculations for CRR Account Holders and will result in a modification to the payment schedule for CRRs.

ERCOT has scheduled credit training related to the implementation of NPRR484. This training is intended for credit and/or settlement representatives of ERCOT CRR Account Holders (CRRAHs) and Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs) wanting a general knowledge of the changes to the current credit calculations based on the implementation of NPRR484. The course is open to the public as well, subject to space availability.
The location and schedule for the training is shown below (note that the same ½-day course is being offered on three different dates). This course will also be available via WebEx.
