Prioritization of Upgrade Revision Requests PRS and TAC have discussed the fact that SCR789 Update NMMS Topology Processor to PSSE 34 Capability is an upgrade project that should have market awareness but may not be appropriate for tracking against the market s target project budget allocation Options When ERCOT and PRS agree that a Revision Request is not an enhancement it is excluded from market spending metric No change these situations don t come up very frequently Request PRS members consider these options and bring forward any other alternatives for a detailed discussion in September ERCOT supports an approach where such projects are excluded from market funding tracking when a consensus to exclude is reached at PRS 7 PUBLIC
