Summary
This NPRR revises how QSEs and TSPs communicate with ERCOT in Real-Time. This Revision Request requires that all Real-Time communications use Inter-Control Center Protocol (ICCP) for all communications. This will retire the existing RTU infrastructure used by ERCOT and its market participants for data exchange. Market transactions using XML and/or MIS, and RTU communications between Market Participants and their field equipment, will remain unchanged.
