PLWG Report to RPG

1. PLWG Report to RPG September 24, 2013 Presented by John Moore, PLWG Chair

2. August PLWG Meeting will be held tomorrow, September 24 Key PGRR’s to be addressed: PGRR031 “Implement 95% Facility Rating Limit in Planning Criteria” PGRR028 “Evaluation of Compliance of Reactive Requirements”

3. Active PGRRs Under Consideration • PGRR028 “Evaluation of Compliance of Reactive Requirements” • ERCOT will present updated PGRR language • PGRR030 “New Planning Guide Section 8A, Declaration of Resource Data Accuracy” • ROS directed PLWG to address stakeholder concern re: extent of timeframe requiring filing of updates for resources being planned for interconnection. • A small group has met to offer revised language for consideration. • PGRR031 “Implement 95% Facility Rating Limit in Planning Criteria” • Two alternatives have been developed for consideration. • The alternatives address different approaches to justify new projects based on 95% loading; one addresses the concern to establish language that does not incorporate the justification within the Planning Criteria and eliminate a potential conflict with NERC compliance requirements. • PGRR032/NPRR567 “Stakeholder Review of Resource Registration Data Requirements” • Review RDWG’s proposed language addressing processes for changing resource registration data requirements

4. Wrap-up of OPSTF Issues List • If time permits, additional consideration will be directed to consider two remaining issues that have not been completely addressed with current and recently approved PGRRs: • Issue 5c – How to consider discrete load additions • Issue 10 - Security-constrained deliverability of ancillary services
