ReasonA study conducted by ERCOT, with the assistance of KEMA consulting, concluded that the existing RTU technology cannot support the required volume of data in a timely manner. The study also concluded that ICCP is the only technology that can support the data quality requirements.

Summary
This NPRR revises how QSEs and TSPs communicate with ERCOT in Real-Time. This Revision Request requires that all Real-Time communications use Inter-Control Center Protocol (ICCP) for all communications. This will retire the existing RTU infrastructure used by ERCOT and its market participants for data exchange. Market transactions using XML and/or MIS, and RTU communications between Market Participants and their field equipment, will remain unchanged.
