LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT has changed how it will facilitate Daylight Savings Time (DST) testing in ERCOT Market Operations Testing Environment (MOTE) this year. A Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) can perform testing in - MOTE for DST as the March 14, 2021 Operating Day becomes available for Market Manager System (MMS) submissions.  Note that there will NOT be a MOTE time change for DST testing, so QSEs should use the available lead time in MMS to test and complete submissions for Operating Day March 14, 2021. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For information regarding submissions, including DST requirements, please refer to the latest version of the EIP External Interface Specifications document for use of the External Web Services (EWS) found in the Wholesale section of the XSDs webpage.
