ERCOT Readiness
• Engagement (green)• ERCOT remains fully engaged
• Training (amber)• Delays with system training
• Process (amber)• Procedure development is on-going• 443 procedures; 88% complete
• Staffing (amber)• ERCOT is currently 97% staffed
(98% required for green status)• Recruitment is on-going
• Testing (green)• No recent developments
ERCOT Staff Readiness status is AMBER

Market Participant Readiness
Market Participant Readiness status is AMBER
• Engagement (green)• Market Participants are fully engaged
• Connectivity (green)• No change in status• MP20 (ability to submit outage) is
now a metric for TSPs as well
• Registration and Qualification (red)• For QSEs with Resources – limited
response from entities needing to modify RARFs is driving the red status (MP11)
• For QSEs without Resources – limited transaction submission testing is driving the amber status (MP22)
• Telemetry (green)• No change
• Training (green)• Market Participants are up-to-date on
their training plans
• Trials Participation (green)• No change

Metrics Working Documents
• Revised Metric– MP21
• Completed Metrics– CRR2– CRR3– CRR5– N1– N2 (N2.1, N2.1)– EMO5– EMO6– R2
• Inactive Metric– CO9
• Proposed New Metric– MP23
77
Revised Metric – MP21
• MP21 was rejected by TAC on September 4
• Objections to MP21 were focused on confusion between QSEs with Resources and respective Resource Entities
• New plan addresses those concerns– Collect data at a QSE or Resource Entity level– Publish data on a Resource Entity level– Do not link Resource Entities to QSEs– MP21 status will impact overall scorecard status– MP21 status for Resource Entities will not impact respective
QSEs with Resources on the scorecard

Completed Metric – CRR2
CRR2: Develop TCR to CRR Transition Plan• TCR to CRR Transition Plan has been created, updated, and approved by TAC
ERCOT CRR PM has validated: • TCR to CRR Transition Plan exists• TCR to CRR Transition Plan is updated• TCR to CRR Transition Plan has been approved by TAC
1010
Completed Metric – CRR3
CRR3: Operation of Monthly CRR Auction and Allocation• CRR monthly auction solves within acceptable timelines and monthly CRR results
are distributed to applicable account holders– Auction produces solution within timeline allocated by CRR requirements – Monthly trial results distributed to auction participants = 100%– Allocated Revenue Rights in statistical sample = 100% accurate
ERCOT CRR Database and EDS 3 PM have validated: • Monthly auction was held• Auction solved within acceptable timelines according to CRR Handbook• Trial results distributed to auction participants• Statistical sample of allocated revenue rights is accurate
1111
Completed Metric – CRR5
CRR5: Operation of Annual CRR Auction and Allocation• CRR annual auction solves within acceptable timelines and annual CRR results are
distributed to applicable account holders– Auction produces solution within timeline allocated by CRR requirements– Annual trial results distributed to auction participants = 100%– Auction results in statistical sample = 100% accurate
ERCOT CRR Database and EDS 3 PM have validated: • Annual auction was held• Auction solved within acceptable timelines according to CRR Handbook• Trial results distributed to auction participants• Statistical sample of auction results is accurate
1212
Completed Metric – N1
N1: ERCOT Telemetry Alarm Processing• Readiness will be achieved with alarms are generated from the limit, status, and
other EMS tests and the attributes of the alarms are correct– Load/Rating > Alarm set point– Change of Status initiates a Status Alarm
Alarm Log and EDS 1 PM have validated: • Alarms are generated from limit, status, and other EMO tests• Attributes of alarms are correct
1313
Completed Metric – N2
N2: ERCOT Telemetry/ICCP System Failover (N2.1 and N2.2)• ERCOT has passed a simulated failover test
– Phase 1 (N2.1, EDS1): local failover– Phase 2 (N2.2, EDS4): high availability test and site-to-site failover
EDS 1 and EDS 4 PMs have validated: • Server Failover <= 5 Minutes• Com Link Failover <= 30 Seconds
1414
Completed Metric – EMO5
EMO5: Verify ACE Performance• Comparison of the Nodal generated raw ACE and processed ACE tracks with the
existing (Zonal) ACE for seven consecutive days
EMS Extract of ACE and EDS 3 PM have validated: • Alignment of Nodal ACE and Zonal ACE• Expected response to frequency changes• Identify and address any low performance intervals• Presentation of ACE verification to TPTF for review and acceptance
1515
Completed Metric – EMO6
EMO6: QSE Response to Dispatch• Use LFC Testing to ensure response from Generation Resources to ERCOT control
signals to maintain grid reliability
LFC Test Results and the EDS 3 PM have validated: • Stable frequency by meeting NERC CPS1 and CPS2 requirements• ERCOT can calculate and send correct base point signals• QSE providing Regulation Service can run on constant frequency control• QSE Resources respond to Regulation Dispatch Instruction• QSE Resources respond to Updated Desired Based Point Dispatch Instructions• QSE ability to received Responsive Reserve Deployment Instructions • QSE ability to update Responsive Reserve Schedule
1616
Completed Metric – R2
R2: Develop Texas Nodal Market Launch Plan• Publication of a TAC approved Texas Nodal Market Launch Plan and
communication of that plan to Market Participants
ERCOT Readiness PM has validated: • Texas Nodal Market Launch Plan exists• Texas Nodal Market Launch Plan has been TAC approved• Plan has been verbally communicated to Market Participants
1717
Inactive Metric – CO9
CO9: Verify Financial Transfer and Processing• Verify financial transfer process is functional between ERCOT and Market
Participants via a “penny test”
Propose inactive status for the following reasons: • Financial transfers will not occur between ERCOT and Market Participants
– ERCOT will transfer funds directly to the bank, not to Market Participants• Money transfers will be handled in a manner similar to that of settlements and billing
– Handled by the finance group• The basic infrastructure for the transfer of funds already exists and is functional
1818
Proposed New Metric – MP23
• ERCOT proposes creation of new metric, MP23• MP23 – Outage Scheduler Trials Participation
– Continuation of MP20 (Outage Submission – Connectivity Test)– Metric for QSEs with Resources and TSPs– Measures involvement in trials participation surrounding Outage
Scheduler (EDS 4.9)
