NOTICE DATE:  September 14, 2017

NOTICE TYPE:  M-A071917-04 CRR

SHORT DESCRIPTION:  WebEx sessions for CRR MUI upgrade

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  CRR Account Holders and Counter-Parties

DAY AFFECTED:  September 20 and 28, 2017

LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT will be hosting two WebEx sessions to demonstrate the requalification process for Congestion Revenue Right (CRR) Account Holders and their Counter-Parties in association with the CRR Market User Interface (MUI) upgrade. The MUI will be upgraded on January 22, 2018, to be compatible with the latest web browsers and to remove Java applets and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) requirement.

All registered CRR Account Holders and their Counter-Parties will be required to requalify to ensure that they can use the new MUI to perform auction activities. The requalification will be very similar to the current qualification test for new CRR Account Holders, and passing the requalification test will be required to participate in any CRR auctions taking place after the upgrade is implemented. The requalification period is scheduled for September 18 – December 8, 2017.

The requalification test will be performed in the Market Operations Test Environment (MOTE), which will require each CRR Account Holder and their Counter-Party to have an active MOTE digital certificate. An active digital certificate for the current MOTE CRR application will also be valid for the new MUI in MOTE.

ACTION REQUIRED:  Please confirm access to the Market Operations Test Environment (MOTE) (https://testing.ercot.com/) with a valid digital certificate prior to the start of the requalification period. An active digital certificate for the current MOTE CRR application will also be valid for the new MUI in MOTE. If needed, registered User Security Administrators (USAs) can request digital certificates via email to [log in to unmask]. Note that the MOTE link to the MUI Upgrade may be intermittently unavailable prior to September 18, 2017.  

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  The WebEx session details are provided below. Note that these sessions will cover the same material, so it is not necessary to attend both.
