  1. CenterPoint Energy’sMarket Test Flight Exemption Update to RMS Retail Market Subcommittee Meeting May 7, 2019

  2. Which Market Test Flights?

  3. Later this year, CenterPoint Energy (CNP) will implement a conversion to a new CIS system.  The primary cutover and conversion activities will begin in the 4th quarter of 2019 and continue into the 1st quarter of 2020.  In addition, testing and other preparations are taking place now, and will continue throughout the summer.  • Due to the significant time and resources (systems and personnel) being devoted to our CIS conversion during this period, CNP requested the ERCOT exempt CNP from the next three Market Test Flights:  • Flight 0619, • Flight 1019 and; • Flight 0220 (First Flight of Year 2020). Why?

  4. For these three flights, CNP will accept Market Participants’ successful test results and certifications based upon their testing completed with other TDSPs. This is the same Round Robin testing process that is performed by all TDSPs during TX SET Release(s) or any Market wide system upgrades such as a new version of NAESB EDM. • New Market Participant(s) in CNP’s territory will still be required to successfully complete connectivity and penny testingwith CNP prior to CNP implementing their DUNs into our production environment. What if New CR(s) or 3rd Party require Certification for CNP’s Service Territory?

  5. To Market Participants (MPs) for your patience, understanding and testing assistance that will be required during this critical phase of CNP’s CIS Conversion Project, • To ERCOT for always being willing to provide their expertise and assistance whenever and wherever necessary, • To Joint TDSPs for their Continuous Support and Market Flight Testing Mutual Assistance and; • For All the Above We Are Very Grateful! Thank YOU!
