Remaining analysis is on schedule. • Outline of final analysis was reviewed at the 12/4 PWG meeting.

  8. ERCOT Load Research – PR30014 Project • 10/23/03 Kickoff meeting with TDSPs. • 11/06/03 Second TDSP coordinating meeting. • TDSPs have agreed to use ebXML, FTP Replacement for sample data transfer in .LS format. • 11/26/03 CR Survey due. • 12/05/03 CR coordinating meeting. • Estimated sample design target to TDSPs: 1/5/2004 • Estimated sample design acceptance: 1/15/2004 • Estimated complete IDR installation: 7/15/2004 • See ERCOT Report for the RMS meeting for the latest timeline and current status.

  12. Update Reports • Oil and gas properties profile change request. • Gas/Convenience 24 hr Stores profile change request. • Direct Load Control (DLC) Project Status. • IDR Requirement Report. • PRR471 for NIDR to IDR Default Profile. • PRR469 for Protocols Section 18 to PRS. • PRR478/LPGRR2003-004 – Lagged Dynamic for new profile. • PRR479 IDR Optional Removal Threshold
