Linked Service Address Issue Update • To establish the proper one-to-one linkage between an ESI and a service address to prevent future problems. • ERCOT system fix moved into production • Sample 814_20s being processed to confirm efficacy of fix • TDSPs to submit correction 814_20s on coordinated schedule (anticipated to occur ~mid-May)
SCR 732 Briefing • FasTrak is an on-line tool, developed by ERCOT, that has evolved into the primary retail transaction issue resolution tool. It is used to register, communicate and track through resolution various market transaction issues or exceptions • FasTrak has, through practical necessity, been used for purposes well outside those initially envisioned when the tool was created • RMS identified a need to revisit market business requirements associated with retail transaction issue resolution activities to identify potential enhancements to FasTrak • SCR 732 creates a project team (2 ERCOT FTEs over 3 months) to develop detailed system requirements for an enhanced FasTrak process (a separate project would be required to proceed further) • ERCOT plans to host 3 meetings in May to gather requirements • TAC input and feedback is welcomed
