  11. Communications Plan / Issue Management • Questions to ERCOT: • At any time, questions can be emailed to markettrials@ercot.com • This mailbox is monitored Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm. • Nodal Market Trials Readiness Center Website • The Nodal Readiness Center will continue to be leveraged for any required documents MPs need to reference • All functional areas will continue to have a specific subsection under the Market Trials front page: • Real-Time Market/LFC • Congestion Revenue Rights • Outage Scheduler • DAM/RUC • COMS/Settlements • For documents that apply to all functional areas, those will be posted to the Market Trials Front Page under Key Documentshttp://nodal.ercot.com/readiness/markettrials/index.html http://nodal.ercot.com 11

  14. Nodal Production Environment - ERCOT Support • Nodal Production Environment Status • Phase 5 is the fourth major release of the Nodal Production Environment • ERCOT continues to perform Integration and Performance Testing • It is expected that issues will be found during Phase 5 by both, ERCOT and Market Participants • Additionally, ERCOT will also be testing their fail-over procedures periodically throughout Market Trials Phase 5 • Supported days / hours for Market Trials during the month of May • The Nodal Production environment is still considered a test environment, consequently it will be necessary to bring the environment down periodically to perform maintenance and patch releases to the software • The following details the supported days and hours ERCOT is actively monitoring the nodal production environment • CRR, OS and External Web Services, MIS: Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm • MMS, SCED, EMS, Telemetry: 24x7 • Maintenance: • For those systems that are not 24x7, they will remain accessible outside of their support windows, however there is no guarantee of system stability or accessibility • For those items that are supported 24x7, ERCOT will communicate to the market via a market notice when maintenance or planned outages will take place http://nodal.ercot.com 14

  15. Nodal Production Environment - ERCOT Support • Outage and Restoration • In the event of an outage or significant degradation in performance during an active support window, ERCOT will send a market notice followed by periodic status updates as they are available. • The expected restoration time for outages will be on an ‘as soon as possible’ basis http://nodal.ercot.com 15
