NPRR822  Designate Resource Node Procedure an Other Binding Document and Adjust the Process for Retiring Resource Nodes

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) designates the “Procedure for Identifying Resource Nodes” an Other Binding Document. This document already requires approval within the Protocols by a TAC subcommittee, and as such, it is more properly an Other Binding Document than a Business Practice Manual. This NPRR also adjusts the process for handling Resource Nodes for retired Resources by allowing ERCOT to convert Congestion Revenue Rights (CRRs) at a retired Resource’s Resource Node to a different, nearby Settlement Point. This will allow Transmission Service Providers (TSPs) to remove equipment from the model, as needed, to keep the model aligned with operations.
