Next Steps Continue to evaluate and share FRRS Pilot data with various stake-holder groups Post Preliminary (3 month) report on Pilot in early June. Perform cost benefit analysis prior to July 2013 Board meeting Obtain feedback on cost benefit analysis approach. ERCOT TAC
Stakeholder Review Process In March and April, ERCOT presented and discussed updates on the FRRS-pilot with ETWG and PDCWG. (Actual performance data was reviewed.) WMS -- May 8 ROS -- May 9 BOD -- May 14 (General update, Heads-up on decision required at July BOD meeting) Current Pilot end date is August 23, 2013. Additional discussions planned for stakeholder meetings in June 2013 July BOD meeting - - provide options. ERCOT TAC
