NPRR-1120 Create Firm Fuel Service Workshop February 9, 2022 Sandip Sharma ERCOT
Overview This NPRR introduces a new reliability product, Firm Fuel Supply Service (FFSS), intended to assist in the maintenance of system reliability in the event of a natural gas curtailment or other fuel supply disruption. By necessity this NPRR focuses on components that require accommodation in the Settlement and Billing system, since those components require the longest lead time to design. In the interest of timely implementation by Winter 2022-23, this NPRR defines the FFFSS and creates a Settlement framework that allows ERCOT to build Settlement systems to meet the Winter 2022-23 timeline. ERCOT intends to provide more details in the RFP and may also subsequently file one or more additional NPRRs to memorialize the pertinent details in the Protocols as ERCOT receives further guidance from the Commission. 2 February 2022 PUBLIC
