NPRR917  Nodal Pricing for Settlement Only Distribution Generators (SODGs) and Settlement Only Transmission Generators (SOTGs)

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) implements nodal energy pricing, instead of the current Load Zone energy pricing, for Settlement Only Distribution Generators (SODGs) and Settlement Only Transmission Generators (SOTGs). For an SODG, the energy price used as the basis for the 15-minute Real-Time price calculation is the time-weighted price at the Electrical Bus associated with the mapped Load of the SODG in the Network Operations Model. For an SOTG, the energy price used as the basis for the 15-minute Real-Time price calculation is the time-weighted price at the Electrical Bus as determined by ERCOT in review of the meter location of the SOTG in the Network Operations Model. This NPRR also allows existing SODGs and SOTGs to apply to ERCOT to continue to receive Load Zone energy pricing until such time as they proactively opt in for nodal pricing, or January 1, 2030, whichever is earlier.
