NPRR1053  BESTF-9 Exemption from Ancillary Service Supply Compliance Requirements for Energy Storage Resources Affected by EEA Level 3 Charging Suspensions

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) establishes an exemption from Ancillary Service supply compliance requirements for any Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) representing an Energy Storage Resource (ESR) whose ability to charge is restricted during a Level 3 Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) event. The NPRR clarifies that the compliance exemption does not impact the QSE’s financial responsibility due to the Ancillary Service insufficiency. Upon implementation of Real-Time Co-optimization of Energy and Ancillary Services (RTC), these provisions will no longer be necessary, and the language inserted by this NPRR will be removed.
