“ERCOT will schedule a workshop for April 1, 2025, immediately following the Retail Market Subcommittee (RMS) meeting, to discuss and develop details for the data submission process. ERCOT will be sharing possible Protocol language to help guide the discussion and will look to participants representing REPs and TDSPs for suggestions to revise and refine those details. ERCOT expects shortly thereafter to submit an NPRR to codify the requirements for this data collection process and to make minor adjustments to current Protocol Section 3.10.7.2.2 Annual Demand Response Report, to address this new data submission requirement.”
