<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ERCOT has been working collaboratively with CPS Energy on negotiating potential RMR agreements for three resources, targeting a decision by December.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The RFP deadline was extended to October 7, yet only one MRA offer was received, indicating limited industry response.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Discussion about CPS's revision of the suspension of operations date to March 2, addressing lost opportunity cost policy issues.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Full analysis is being prepared for a December board meeting, with possible extension to a special meeting or February if needed.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">All three units have been determined necessary following reliability analysis focusing on transmission system impacts, particularly the interconnection reliability operating limit (IROLs) in South Texas.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only one MRA proposal was received, for a 1200 MW storage resource, effective summer 2026; no offers covered 2025 needs.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CPS Energy is preparing for potential inspections and outages of the units, facing possible extended lead times for critical parts.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is uncertainty regarding the availability of these units for summer 2025 and a need for expedited analysis to mitigate potential rotating outages.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ERCOT plans to consider all factors, including potential qualitative and quantitative assessments, in preparation for December decision-making.</span></li>

<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The summer of 2023 had the 6th hottest average temperature on record for Texas.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peak temperatures this year were generally lower than last year but minimum temperatures were higher.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Demand patterns show minimum demands close to peak demands from five years ago indicating significant load growth.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Net load tightness is more critical after solar generation decreases in the evening.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">August 20th was the only day all generation resources were fully utilized, compared to multiple such days the previous year.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">More physical responsive capability available this year compared to the previous year's tightest days.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Energy storage resources (ESR) played a critical role during peak periods, especially when solar generation decreases.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market prices were significantly down (82% year-over-year) due to increased solar and storage capacity.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ancillary service costs dramatically decreased from over 800 million last August to 36 million this year.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Forward price curves have been reducing over the past few months.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A notable shift in the type of loads—towards both base and load-following—anticipating significant load growth in the future.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduced reliance on RUC during summer months seen as a positive change.</span></li>

<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The R&M committee considered NPRR1190, which was previously tabled by the board after the August meeting due to six opposing votes from TAC by consumers.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ERCOT staff filed additional comments on September 19, 2024, which were considered by the R&M committee, along with joint consumer comments from October 2, 2024.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comments were heard from commission staff, ERCOT staff, and a corporate member from Lyondell Chemical.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Commission staff and Lyondell Chemical indicated NPRR1190 is too broad and recommended remanding it to TAC.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NPRR1190 does not have an urgent status and does not impact reliability.</span></li>
