LONG DESCRIPTION: On October 6, 2023, Protocol language associated with Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) 1154, Include Alternate Resource in the Availability Plan for the Firm Fuel Supply Service, will be implemented. The first Operating Day to utilize the Settlement-related changes for NPRR1154 will be November 15, 2023.

Section 3.14.5, Firm Fuel Supply Service – Establishes the use of an alternate Resource, previously approved by ERCOT, to replace a Firm Fuel Supply Service Resource (FFSSR).
Section 6.6.14.2, Firm Fuel Supply Service Hourly Standby Fee Payment and Fuel Replacement Cost Recovery – Revises the calculation of Firm Fuel Supply Service Hourly Rolling Equivalent Availability (FFSSHREAF) to include consideration of an Alternate Resource’s Availability Plan, and creates a new equation to calculate the Firm Fuel Supply Service Award Amount (FFSSAWARD).
