NPRR #410 · Revision Request
NPRR410 Definition of an Energy Storage Resource
ReasonThis NPRR allows Energy Storage Resources to participate in the ERCOT market by addressing unintended consequences of treating the "Load" function and the "Generation" function of storage technologies under separate Settlement formulas. Failure to address this issue will result in either an unreasonable barrier to market entry for beneficial emerging technologies or in inefficient market outcomes where differences between Resource Node and Load Zone prices provide inappropriate market incentives.
