Methodology for Implementing Operating Reserve Demand Curve (ORDC) to Calculate Real-Time Reserve Price Adder
Summary
At the December 16, 2021 Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) Open Meeting, the PUCT ordered ERCOT to change the minimum contingency level (“X”) used in the ORDC process from 2,000 MW to 3,000 MW, effective January 1, 2022. As a result of that PUCT directive, this Other Binding Document Revision Request (OBDRR) updates the parameter within the relevant methodology document.
