  1. Texas Nodal Market Implementation:- Program Update- Market Readiness Metrics Update Jerry Sullivan TPTF

  2. Agenda: Program Update Program Status Overall Status Schedule Revision Planning Considerations Plan Forward Update Key Concerns Areva (CIM) Status / Impact TSP Data Validation: Single Entry Model Go-Live Procedure Other Risks Cost Texas Nodal Program Update

  3. Program Status: Overall Status Amber status driven by staffing and training metrics ERCOT Staff Readiness status is: Amber Amber status driven by Cycle 4 Survey results (engagement and training), EDS 3 trials participation, and new entrants to the market Market Participant Readiness status is: Amber Nodal Delivery status is: Changed due to schedule impact Red Nodal Delivery ` Cost Schedule Scope / Quality Primary Indicators Amber* Red Green Amber * Slippage beyond Dec. 1 has cost implications Secondary Indicators Green Red Amber Red EDS1 EDS2 EDS3 EDS4 Texas Nodal Program Update

  4. Schedule Revision: Planning Considerations A clear, achievable delivery date ERCOT wait until the EMS CIM Importer is thoroughly tested before committing to a new "go-live" date Implementation will include both the Real-Time Market and the Day-Ahead Market, as originally planned ERCOT review incorporating deferred items for the Dec. 1 date Sufficient testing time for TSPs and QSEs is needed in the new "go-live" date Sufficient time to validate the network operating model for TSPs ERCOT provide a draft of the new integrated schedule to TPTF for review and comments TPTF has made several recommendations about how to proceed with planning efforts. ERCOT will consider: Texas Nodal Program Update

  5. Schedule Revision: Plan Forward Process Dedicate a team to drive development of the new schedule (Complete) Standardize templates for individual project schedules, including all transition activities (Complete) Re-estimate the durations of all project activities based on historical data (In Progress) Identify comprehensive list of dependencies and link across project schedules, allowing schedules across projects to be dynamically generated as changes occur (In Progress) Develop the integrated master Nodal program schedule (In Progress) Review the schedule and options with TPTF and ERCOT (Pending) Timeline The date for setting a new schedule date has not been finalized, but the team understands the sense of urgency as well as the importance of a realistic plan ERCOT is aggressively working to develop a revised integrated Nodal program schedule that is realistic and achievable Texas Nodal Program Update

  6. In the meantime… Support for ongoing activities NPRR analysis Design and development Integration testing Data validation Documentation Training Other high-value activities Improving processes and infrastructure Establishing Nodal Integrated Release 1.0, the baseline integrated testing environment inclusive of all Nodal applications and supporting infrastructure Improving release management process, build promotion strategy and requirements Improving data quality ERCOT also continues delivery of high-value activities and improvements to processes and infrastructure Texas Nodal Program Update

  7. AREVA (CIM): Status and Impact The CIM Importer has not completed Pre-FAT due to missing data and CIM Importer development issues.  Resolving the open issues is an iterative process exporting the data Identifying the errors (code or data (AREVA or ERCOT) fixing the issue re-exporting…… A new completion date will be provided once the iteration cycles decline ERCOT technical team at AREVA the week of June 16th providing testing support and helping to resolve missing data in the NMMS CIM XML file Critical Schedule Events/Activities Original Planned Integration Activities 168-Hour Test Go-Live Period Post Go Live Activities Today Not to scale May 2, Previous commitment of EMS CIM Delivery Date June 27 delivery date stated at June BoD meeting June 13 delivery date stated at May BoD Meeting Go Live Date Texas Nodal Program Update

  8. TSP Data Validation: Single Entry Model Go-Live Procedure Single Entry Model (SEM) Process Model creation and data validation – ERCOT NMMS Tool (SEM) Go-Live – ERCOT Data/model validation - TSPs Transition to Nodal Protocol Section 3.10 for Network model maintenance Current Status Published Single Entry Model Go-Live Procedure V0.03 for comments Compiling comments received from Network Data Support Working Group (NDSWG) Discussed key issues on the Procedure with ROS on June 12th Attended NDSWG meeting on June 17th and agreed on next steps for the procedure Next Steps Meeting scheduled on June 27th with the Network Data Support Working Group to discuss TSP data/model validation activities prior to transition to Nodal Protocol Section 3 Revise Procedure based on NDSWG feedback and seek TPTF approval Texas Nodal Program Update

  9. Other Risks Continue to be Addressed Majority of vendor software releases are received; outstanding releases include: NMMS (2 releases) MMS 5 (+ 2 known major patches to MMS4) MMS 5 scheduled due to CIM importer delays Will require additional FAT and Regression test cycles Integration components have been designed and coded, but not completely delivered Risk of refactoring due to changes in upstream software remains high Total number of components fully tested remains low Plan for resolution of outstanding SPRs, Sev 1 & Sev 2 defects prior to 168 hour test Deliver new schedule that accommodates adequate testing and bug fix time Increase formalized testing using more realistic data set Execute more robust and comprehensive testing in earlier environments Further NPRRs need to be closely evaluated for scope changes and impact to schedule. Changes in scope must be approved by the Executive Steering Board Texas Nodal Program Update

  10. Cost: Element Summary *Does not include impacts of schedule change Texas Nodal Program Update

  11. Agenda: Market Readiness Metrics Update • Status Update • ERCOT Staff Readiness • Market Participants • Cycle 4 Survey Update • Roll Ups • Metric Update Schedule • EDS • Action Items from June 9th TPTF Meeting • Metric Revisions/Interpretations: ERCOT Recommendations • Metric definition in light of schedule change • Metric scoring criteria transparency • Metric RAG rule revisions • Appendix (see separate file) Texas Nodal Program Update

  12. Status Update All status levels for overall readiness remain the same Texas Nodal Program Update

  13. Program Status: ERCOT Staff ERCOT Staff Readiness status is AMBER • Engagement (green) • new survey results came out at the end of May - ERCOT remains fully engaged • Training (amber) • one department in the IT division and one department in System Planning are behind scheduled training levels • actively recruiting SMEs • Process (green) • updated weekly • Staffing (amber) • ERCOT is currently ~92% staffed (95% required for green status) • recruitment is ongoing • Testing (green) • no recent developments Texas Nodal Program Update

  14. Status Update: Market Participants Market Participant Readiness status is AMBER • Engagement (amber) • limited survey response drives amber status • Connectivity (amber) • no change • Registration and Qualification (amber) • MP10 (resource mapping) has improved steadily over the past few weeks • MP11 (RARF data) – only 6 RARFs have not been received (over 99.5% of MWs received), 83% of MWs have passed the second tier review • Telemetry (green) • no change • Training (amber) • limited survey response drives amber status • Trials Participation (amber) • updated MP15 data (EDS 3 trials participation based on TPO and COP) drives amber status Texas Nodal Program Update

  15. Cycle 4 Survey Update Cycle 4 Survey Data was reported on the scorecards on June 12th • There were varying degrees of response to the Cycle 4 Survey • QSEs with Resources and TDSPs had 100% response to the Cycle 4 Survey • 28% of QSEs did not respond to the survey (approx. 25 entities) • 33% of LSEs did not respond to the survey (approx. 37 entities) • This limited response is driving several metrics to red • QSEs without Resources are red for MP1, MP12, and MP13 • LSEs are red for MP19 • ERCOT Account Managers will continue their outreach efforts to MPs who were non-responsive to the Cycle 4 Survey or who reported negative answers • Updates to the Cycle 4 Survey can be submitted using the excel form found on the metrics website (same process as previous surveys) Texas Nodal Program Update

  16. Roll-Ups Individual Scores Green = 3 Amber = 2 Red = 1 Overall score for all market participants is amber, based on the following calculations Note: Overall status is an average of the 15 scores Rolled Scores Green = 3 2 <= Amber < 3 1 <= Red < 2 2.27 Texas Nodal Program Update

  17. Recommended Metric Updates Individual metrics will be updated on a weekly basis – account managers will call entities on Mondays and the scorecard will be updated on Tuesday afternoons The Metric Overview will be updated on the Readiness Center website (http://nodal.ercot.com/readiness/mertics/index.html) on Friday mornings Texas Nodal Program Update

  18. Action Items At the last TPTF meeting there were a few items we committed to research and to report on, including: • Communication with Entities: Metric Updates • updates will be done on a consistent schedule (every Tuesday afternoon) • account managers will notify entities the Monday prior (i.e., day before) if their status will degrade (green to amber, green to red, amber to red) • LSE Involvement • the new method of determining status allows the lack of engagement of the LSEs to be reflected in the overall status • account managers began an outreach to LSEs on Thursday; we will keep TPTF updated on the progress of that outreach • ERCOT Staffing Metrics: Impact of Schedule Change • Karen Lamoree will be presenting on ERCOT Readiness today • Punch Lists • once metrics are over 95% green, we propose closing the metric and moving to a punch list for delinquent entities • at this time we will not be closing MP10 because less than 95% of entities are green and a second phase is pending • data submission is ongoing • at this time we will not be closing MP11 because less than 95% of entities are green • the second round of QC is ongoing, causing several entities to change from amber to green • a third round of business validation is pending • Metric Revisions • close examination of existing metrics is on-going Texas Nodal Program Update
