NPRR381  Registration Requirements for Interconnecting Entities

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) creates a new type of Market Participant called an "Interconnecting Entity" (IE). The NPRR requires Entities who wish to interconnect a new Resource or make certain changes to a Resource to register with ERCOT and to comply with ERCOT standards and procedures during the interconnection or change process. Entities that are not presently registered as Resource Entities will now be required to register as IEs before they may seek registration as Resource Entities. Existing Resource Entities who seek interconnection of a new Resource or certain changes to an existing Resource must amend their registration to add the IE designation, and may amend the registration to withdraw the IE designation when the new Resource is energized or the proposed changes are implemented. This NPRR does not require current Resource Entities to seek retroactive registration as an IE for Resources already energized. However, this NPRR would require Entities currently involved in the interconnection process to register as IEs.
