ERCOT has announced delays in the settlement of Direct Load Control (DLC) programs, originally expected by summer 2003, due to internal process changes. This delay affects stakeholders like Comverge and GMEC, who have made significant investments in residential DLC initiatives. Despite the setback, the upcoming Beta Test is not anticipated to have a meaningful impact on Uncollectible Financial Exposure (UFE). It is crucial for the market to support demand response programs such as DLC to ensure effective energy management and reliability.
