NPRR #168 · Revision Request

NPRR168 Change the Definition of "Start-up" and Include the Fuel from Breaker Close to LSL in Startup Costs (formerly titled "Verifiable Costs General Corrections")

Approved sponsor Verifiable Cost Working Group (VCWG) posted 2008-11-24 next action Impact Analysis ercot.com

ReasonThe current Nodal Protocols do not allow QSEs to file Resource-specific fuel consumption from breaker close to LSL and from breaker open to shutdown although these fuel rates are needed to operate the units, therefore, are legitimate costs that should be accounted for as part of the verifiable cost process.
