NPRR1299  Clarifications to Emergency Response Service (ERS)

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) addresses four independent issues related to Emergency Response Service (ERS): 1) Paragraph (5)(c) of Section 3.14.3.1 is incorrectly included as a subparagraph of paragraph (5) and instead should be paragraph (6) of Section 3.14.3.1. 2) In paragraph (3)(j) of Section 3.14.3.4 the ERS Preliminary Baseline Review Results document is being removed from the Market Information System (MIS) posting list because it is a legacy report that is no longer needed. The information previously provided by the posting of that document has been replaced by the mandatory ERS Resource Identification (ERID) process to get this information and is no longer applicable or being requested by Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSEs). 3) A timing change to paragraph (6) of Section 3.14.3.4 provides flexibility for the ERS offer posting requirement so that instead of posting exactly on the 60th day after the first day of the ERS Standard Contract Term (SCT) there will now be a window for posting no sooner than 60 days and no later than 65 days after the first day of the ERS SCT. 4) A change to paragraph (2) of Section 8.1.3.1.2 clarifies that for non-weather sensitive ERS Loads to be classified as co-located with an ERS Generator, both must be awarded in the same service type and for all the same ERS Time Periods. This has been an issue when both are offered into the same service type and/or Time Periods but for various reasons not awarded.
