  10. Nodal Defects Trends - High Priority (Must Fix Before Go-Live) • Defect counts decreased due to planned defect migrations into Nodal ITest. • Primary source for Open defect counts are EIP, EMS, MMS, and NMMS. Technical Advisory Committee

  11. Nodal Program Risks & Issues Technical Advisory Committee

  12. Issue Escalation Policy For Market Participants • ERCOT Nodal personnel are pulling back from non-Go-Live interaction within subcommittees and task forces • Avenues for Question Resolution and Issue Escalation • Question Resolution • Current Market Trials Calls • Email to markettrials@ercot.com • Issue Escalation • Issue brought up at Subcommittee, Working Group, or Task Force • Discussed without ERCOT involvement • Issue is brought before NATF for overall market discussion and ERCOT opinion • NATF follows up on issue • NATF brings issue forward before TAC • Voting Items are brought before TAC Technical Advisory Committee

  13. Reminder of Nodal Offer Caps and Prices • Prices higher than the $2,250 offer cap were observed in the Real-Time Market in the past month • Per PUCT rule and Protocols (4.4.11), there are offer caps from resources, but not price caps • Also described in protocols are shift factors and power balance penalties that can result in prices above offer caps • On May 5, from 3-6pm there was a scenario that created prices up to $3,759: • -  Transmission constraints were active in nodal  • - Group of resources were lost in a data loading process resulted in under-generation •   Resulted in a simulated under-generation situation with active constraints • As designed, the Real-Time market invoked penalty factors for both: • -  Under-generation (power-balance) penalty of $3,001 • -  Constraints/congestion added on top based on shift factor times penalty factor •     345 kV: $4,500/MW •    138 kV: $3,500/MW •     69 kV: $2,800/MW • -  Penalty values for market trials set in Congestion Management Working group with ERCOT, Market, and IMM • - Price spikes may be only local and may not dramatically increase Load Zone price that Load is settled on • - Final penalty factors to be set through ERCOT and stakeholder process and brought to TAC/Board of Directors prior to go-live. • Even with NPRR091 of $180 or 18 heat rate x GasIndex, prices can be as high as $3,000 Technical Advisory Committee
