4
Registration and Agreements

• 329 Market Participation Applications Received
• 37 QSEs (29 expect to be in pilot)
• 102 LSEs (13 REPs expect to be in pilot)
• 126 TDSPs
• 66 Resource entities

5
Registration and Agreements

• Issues
• TDSPs 2 Munis and 1 Coop have not registered
• LSEs 6 of 101 applications pending
  identification of a QSE
• All CRs participating in pilot have QSEs
  designated
• Resources 4 of 66 applications pending
  identification of a QSE
• Action Plan
• ERCOT PUCT contacting unregistered Munis and
  Coops
• LSEs and Resources understand the need to
  identify QSE under negotiations

EDI Testing

• Issues
• On 4/23, ERCOT sent transactions to the TDSPs for
  processing. TDSPs identified deviations from
  test scripts in transactions submitted by CRs
• CRs resubmitted corrected transactions, which
  ERCOT forwarded to TDSPs
• TDSPs are currently working to return the
  transactions to ERCOT
• Action Plan
• Parties have agreed to implement some
  contingencies to make up lost time due to delays
• ERCOT continues to work with all parties on
  additional contingency measures to enable
  switches by 5/31

10
Market Operations Interface (Portal)

• Issues
• Portal functionality improved this week
  qualification testing proceeding
• 9 QSEs will use portal only during mock market
  and beginning of pilot (none will represent
  generation)
• Action Plan
• Functional qualification will be performed in
  parallel with subsequent weeks of mock market
• ERCOT is working with vendor on system fixes
  identified during the mock market test

11
Real Time Communications (RTU)

• Issues
• Completed technical testing of RTU with all 20
  QSEs
• Resource specific testing proceeding requires
  data submission from all generation units for
  each QSE
• Data from many generation units in network model
  is missing as QSEs finalize relationships
• Action Plan
• ERCOT is working with resource owners to expedite
  submission of data forms

12
Entities Not Registered

• Muni/Coop
• City of Sanger Needs Transmission and/or
  Distribution Service Provider Application
• City of Whitesboro Needs Transmission and/or
  Distribution Service Provider Application
• Rio Grande Electric Cooperative Needs Load
  Serving Entity Application and Transmission
  and/or Distribution Service Provider Application
• Non-ERCOT Entities
• Entergy No Load Serving Entity application
  filed TDSP application filed but not signed
  Standard Agreement
• Southwestern Public Service No Load Serving
  Entity application filed applied as TDSP and
  signed TDSP Standard Agreement

13
Generation Owners w/Units Not Registered

• Austin Energy 1 Unit (New Unit)
• Brownsville Public Utility Board 4 Units
• Calpine Corporation 7 Units
• Enterprise Products 1 Unit
• Exxon Corporation 9 Units
• Shell 4 Units
• Oxy Chemical 3 Units
• Celanese 1 Unit
• Owner Unknown 3 Units
• TOTAL 33 Units
• Note This list is for information only Some of
  these units may intend to only be self-serve.
  However, if ERCOT does not have a signed Resource
  agreement (and there is no QSE designated), there
  is no agreement for payment. If they generate
  and put power on the grid the power will be
  positive UFE and uplifted to the market.

14
EPS Meter Proposals Not Submitted

• AEP/CPL (Mostly issues with QFs) 14 Units
• Public Utility Board of Brownsville (very limited
  contact) 4 Units
• Reliant HLP (actively working on issues) 7
  Units
• Unknown TDSP 20 Units
• TOTAL 45 Units
• Researching TDSP on Unknown category some may be
  self-serve facilities
