PRR 370 – RMR Contract Process • Clarifies applicability to include resources that would “…otherwise not be available to be operated in the ERCOT Region…” • Establishes comment period on RMR use • ERCOT will certify to the Board that the resource owner complied with the application requirements, information was posted on the MIS, consistency with Protocols and that ERCOT made the required evaluation of alternatives

RMR TF Update • Transmission Planning Process • Openness of Regional Planning Process • Increased communication of when work product is posted/made available for comment • ERCOT has plan to formalize the transmission planning process • Acutely aware of stakeholder concerns listed above • ERCOT implementation should be monitored to ensure concerns are addressed • RMR TF may still amend Protocols to reflect portions of ERCOT transmission planning process (e.g., exit strategy)
