25 ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT Phase 1 Solution ERCOT Visibility – ESIID Tracking System (ETS) Complete life-cycle view of transactional data …Near-real time updating of ETS database (every 10 minutes) …Transactions are monitored from FTP inbound to FTP outbound …Transactions are purged from database once business process is complete Daily reporting of all ‘open’ transactions …Reports include all internal system component touch points and their respective timestamps …Reports will identify successful, failed, and out of protocol transactions …Reports are both ‘batch’ and ‘on-demand’
26
26 ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT Phase 1 Solution ERCOT Visibility – Daily reporting of all ‘open’ transactions Transaction Flow Report …Identifies the last system component that the transactions hit and their corresponding timestamps by Global ID Transaction Success Report …Identifies how successful ERCOT was in processing a response transaction
27
27 ERCOT Data Transparency Project Benefits How do Market Participants and ERCOT benefit? –PUC Knowledge of overall Market performance –Transactions ‘in’ and ‘out’ of protocol –Identify points within the Market that have transaction processing problems –Ability to perform more independent queries –Market Participants Better able to manage customer expectations –Ability to research transactions for customers –Able to identify where each transaction is located –Reports identifying backlog, successful, failed, and out of protocol transactions –Ability to perform more independent queries
28
28 ERCOT Data Transparency Project Benefits How do Market Participants and ERCOT benefit? –ERCOT Retail Market Services Able to identify and repair failed transactions –Research problem transactions –Reports identifying backlog, successful, failed, and out of protocol transactions –Summary reports on transaction volumes –Enhanced capabilities to perform root cause analysis on transaction failures –Ensure data synchronization between Siebel and Lodestar –ERCOT IT Know when system and components are not operating –Knowledge of current processing status of all components –Performance throughput and transaction volumes –Ability to trend anticipated volume levels for system reliability –Potential for real time volume-based performance tuning

39 Retail TDSP as LSE Non-PTB Market Synchronization Activities
40
40 Objective –Address market issues resulting in an out of sync “Rep of Record” between ERCOT, TDSP, and CR systems for all ESI IDs resulting from market startup/processing issues as well as subsequent workarounds Completed –ERCOT identified “Perfect Sync” and “1 Day Perfect” – sent lists to MPs –ERCOT identified out-of-synch categories at Sept 10 th design meeting –Task Force identified additional ESI IDs considered “In Sync” – sent lists to MPs –Task Force prioritized 8 categories based upon potential customer impact –ERCOT has sent priority 1 through 6 out-of-sync files to TDSPs and CRs –November 11 th face-to-face meeting to resolve “how to fix” set principles to correct out-of-sync conditions In Progress –ERCOT compiling and analyzing MP responses to out-of-sync files –TDSPs and CRs completing analysis and response to priority 2-6 files –MPs making corrections per 11-11-02 decisions –Final schedule for completion being developed. Market Synchronization Retailer Synchronization Project
41
41 Next Steps –November 19 th, December 3 rd, 10 th, 17 th Follow-up conference calls –December 5 th Escalate issues to TAC if needed –Next Steps: Finalize process to complete and close out this project Confirm timeline Define progress reporting format mechanism for use until close of project Market Synchronization Retailer Synchronization (cont.)
42
42 Market Synchronization “TDSP as LSE” Clean-up Objective –Ensure that all ESI ID are converted from the “TDSP as LSE” by the time True-Up Settlement of February 2002 begins; which is currently scheduled for 12-07-02 Completed –ERCOT sent TDSPs list of ESI ID affiliated with “TDSP as LSE” any time after Feb 01, 2002 –All TDSPs have responded to ERCOT’s original list with suggested corrective action In Progress –ERCOT is reconciling response lists from TDSPs and confirming suggested corrective action can be taken –TDSPs should expect there to be a subset of these ESI IDs which will require multiple discussions prior to ERCOT performing corrective actions
43
43 Objective –Make necessary corrections to ensure that >1MW Customers were switched on the correct date in January 2002 Completed Items –Per RMS direction, ERCOT sent lists to each MP for reconciliation: 1,134 ESI Ids (>1 MW) identified by CRs (meeting the April 30 deadline) –CR and TDSP have reached agreement of Service Instance Date for all ESI IDs –1,035 (91%) ESI IDs are corrected – 82 (7%) ESI IDs were agreed not to fix by TDSP and CR In Progress –17 (2%) ESI IDs with action required to complete agreement 13 – CR agreed to TDSP date (after TDSP submits usage, ERCOT will correct) 4 – ESI ID retired (TDSP needs to submit 814_20 retire transaction) Market Synchronization Non Price to Beat
