1 ERCOT Market Meeting Support Improved Meeting Support for More Efficient Resource Utilization

2 Drivers ERCOT’s governance model (GM) is a key cornerstone to its overall market success ERCOT’s governance model (GM) is a key cornerstone to its overall market success GM requires a large commitment of key resources from ERCOT, PUCT, and Market Participant’s GM requires a large commitment of key resources from ERCOT, PUCT, and Market Participant’s Like all stakeholders, ERCOT Staff is being asked to do more with less, be more efficient and effective, control staff additions Like all stakeholders, ERCOT Staff is being asked to do more with less, be more efficient and effective, control staff additions ERCOT Staff is expected to deliver a range of GM services at a high level and consistently ERCOT Staff is expected to deliver a range of GM services at a high level and consistently Many issues cross multiple functional areas, requiring significant cross impact analysis and coordination Many issues cross multiple functional areas, requiring significant cross impact analysis and coordination

3 ERCOT Staff Goals Professional support of the MP market meeting structure Consistent execution Consistent execution Efficiently meet the needs of the participants and Staff Efficiently meet the needs of the participants and Staff Right resources available given the body type and agenda Right resources available given the body type and agenda Sound preparation of ERCOT presentations and positions Sound preparation of ERCOT presentations and positions Timely and precise communication with stakeholders Timely and precise communication with stakeholders Early identification of issues and coordination across ERCOT Early identification of issues and coordination across ERCOT ID, coordinate, analysis/impact, position development,…ID, coordinate, analysis/impact, position development,… Maximize utilization of ERCOT facilities Maximize utilization of ERCOT facilities

4 A Significant Commitment Indeed… In Over 600 ERCOT MP meetings: Approximately $700,000 in outside facilities and meals for meetings coordinated through ERCOT Approximately $700,000 in outside facilities and meals for meetings coordinated through ERCOT Well more than 100 skilled or highly skilled ERCOT Staff called on to contribute to GM process FTE’s demanded by meeting volume and ERCOT service responsibilities. Well more than 100 skilled or highly skilled ERCOT Staff called on to contribute to GM process FTE’s demanded by meeting volume and ERCOT service responsibilities. ERCOT costs to support GM estimated at $4-5mm/year ERCOT costs to support GM estimated at $4-5mm/year Staff (loaded), plus facilities (depr., util., taxes, insur.)

5 but, the Return is Great  Fair and open forum – democratic decision making  Stakeholder driven agenda and accountability  Deliberative, advance notice, no surprises  Transparent via published agendas, minutes and votes  Opportunity to ensure no issues are avoided  Expected business outcomes: Continuous improvement to the Texas electric market Continuous improvement to the Texas electric market Value of market benefits in excess of cost to change Value of market benefits in excess of cost to change ERCOT rated the #1 competitive electric market in N. America !

6 Feedback from MP’s Staff support performing well in many areas, could improve in other areas: Designate and publish to each committee’s website a lead and alternate Staff person to attend and be responsible to each body Designate and publish to each committee’s website a lead and alternate Staff person to attend and be responsible to each body Ensure there is a cross functional “internal ERCOT review” before staff present views in MP forums Ensure there is a cross functional “internal ERCOT review” before staff present views in MP forums (“part of the problem may be a lack of consistency in who attends, which can lead to internal communication problems”) Prepare meeting locations in advance of the posted start time Prepare meeting locations in advance of the posted start time Prepare and distribute minutes of each TAC, Subcommittees, Task Forces and Work Groups Prepare and distribute minutes of each TAC, Subcommittees, Task Forces and Work Groups (“it is not fair to ask someone who is representing their company to be saddled with note taking”) Limit the number of employees that attend various meetings – only those that have a direct responsibility to the meeting or the agenda Limit the number of employees that attend various meetings – only those that have a direct responsibility to the meeting or the agenda

7 Principal Change  One, named ERCOT Staff member for each standing body responsible to serve the needs of the committee in pursuit of its mission, and responsible to serve the needs of the committee in pursuit of its mission, and  To coordinate internally, the broader ERCOT Staff in support of the body  Defined role and responsibilities  Part of individual performance goals  Plan regular check points with body leadership and committee

Committee Assignments TAC : MM - Cheryl Moseley, SS - Ann Boren, Legal - Mark Walker PRS : MM - Cheryl Moseley, SS – Market Rules Team, Legal – Andy Gallo ROS : MM - Steve Myers, SS - Ann Boren, Rules – Nieves Lopez WMS : MM - Ted Hailu, SS - Ann Boren, Rules – Nieves Lopez COPS : MM - Ted Hailu, SS - Ann Boren, Rules - Diana Zake RMS : MM - Dale Goodman, SS - Ann Boren, Rules - Sonja Mingo Note: Brittney Albracht performs facilities and meeting services coordination

Committee Assignments – ERCOT Staff Next Steps During Q1 MM to coordinate/establish assignments to TF and WG’s Establish back up for minutes taking at TAC and Subcommittee’s Resolve TF and WG documentation need, responsibility and resource req. During Q2 MP feedback checkpoint at TAC and Subcommittee level Further improve coordination across ERCOT Staff supporting MP’s on cross functional initiatives During Q3 MP feedback checkpoint at TF and WG level

Facilities Coordination TAC, Subcommittees and TNT Basically little change to existing process Schedule as far forward as necessary Seek best match of facilities with needs (size, AV,) Look to minimize outside facilities utilization via scheduling cooperation Working groups and task forces Schedule up to two months forward Match facilities to needs Use ERCOT facilities at preferred location first (Austin), use low-cost adjacent hotel space second if preferred location not available, use ERCOT alternate locations (Taylor) third Operator training in April creates the need for flexibility from committee Chairs that month. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

15 Possible Continuous Improvement Ideas In TF & WG meetings, ERCOT Staff introductions and identification of your reason for being at the meeting (contributor/observer and area of interest) At end of all meetings, quick check point survey (verbal w/ input documented and retained): What worked well today? What did not work as well as you would have expected? How could the next meeting be improved? (need actionable input) Start each agenda call with the feedback from last meeting and discuss how to improve the next meeting to address concerns

16 Possible Continuous Improvement Ideas Establish a tracking mechanism regarding committee, TF and WG agenda items, workflow, assignments, next steps Implement cost/benefits criteria and analysis for non-administrative protocol and guide changes Update and standardize format and detail regarding committee, TF and WG “key documents” Publish key docs on web site including: procedures, mission and scope, voting members, chair and vice chair (as appropriate for body type), ERCOT Staff assigned
