Summary

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) creates an Advanced Grid Support Service (AGSS), which will incent Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), particularly Energy Storage Resources (ESRs), to provide valuable stability support to the ERCOT grid and will do so more quickly and efficiently than a mandate, as qualifications are clearly stated, without punitive and unclear compliance mechanisms, which may slow technology growth altogether. This NPRR defines Resource capabilities and provides for compensation based on an annual bidding process, similar to Black Start Service (BSS).
