Consider the impact any revisions to the protocols may have on grid reliability and electricity rates. Make recommendations for revisions or statutory changes to limit distortions in the Texas electrical market.&#8221; <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Leaders from all parts of the Texas electric system discussed the process of creating protocols and concerns about the impact of protocols on system reliability: Public Utility Commission (PUC) Commissioner Ken Anderson gave an update on activities at PUC and ERCOT this year, many of which we\u2019ve discussed previously.\u00a0 Anderson was followed by a panel including ERCOT CEO Trip Doggett.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Doggett told lawmakers that the \u201celectric supply will be tight this summer and <a href=\"http:\/\/newsok.com\/official-texas-electric-supply-will-be-tight\/article\/feed\/402172\">warned that the agency will likely declare Energy Emergency Alerts<\/a> asking consumers to cut back on use. ERCOT may also implement emergency procedures, including taking industrial users offline. But blackouts would happen only if there was an extraordinary drop in generation or the state experienced record high temperatures.\u201d\u00a0 Senator Leticia Van de Putte asked about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ercot.com\/content\/news\/presentations\/2012\/Brattle%20ERCOT%20Resource%20Adequacy%20Review%20-%202012-06-01.pdf\">Brattle report\u2019s<\/a> suggestion of a capacity market that would allow demand response (DR) and whether the 13 percent reserve margin should be treated as a target or a minimum requirement. This was not fully addressed beyond saying the Brattle report will be discussed at a Commission workshop on July 27.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of ERCOT\u2019s Independent Market Monitor, Dan Jones, keeps an eye on the system to make sure the market is functioning efficiently and no one is exerting undue influence over the Texas market. \u00a0Concerns of market manipulation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/29\/ercot-market-manipulated\/\">have been raised<\/a> by outside observers and committee members were clearly concerned about those allegations, which Mr. Jones is in the process of studying. \u00a0Jones also discussed the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2012\/06\/05\/new-ercot-report-on-the-texas-energy-crunch-puc-tweaks-are-a-move-in-the-right-direction-but-not-enough-to-keep-the-lights-on\/\">Brattle report<\/a> recommendations, including one to further increase price caps in ERCOT. \u00a0Senator Kirk Watson asked how the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/business\/article\/Texas-PUC-votes-to-raise-cap-50-3671505.php\">recent cap increase<\/a>, approved by the PUC to encourage more generation, could affect volatility, another issue that will be addressed along at the upcoming PUC workshop.<\/p>\n<p>John Fainter, representing the Association of Electric companies of Texas (AECT), an electric industry \u00a0group, stated that the industry \u201csupports the flexibility in the process with the current protocols\u201d \u00a0and that \u201cwe will continue to have emerging technologies and that demand management should be part of the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We agree that it is important for the protocol development process to remain flexible and stakeholder driven, but the problem lies in the inertia with which these new emerging technologies and demand resources are brought into the market. The current stakeholder process tends to favor the status quo and, if that process is not successful in implementing the desired solution, consider further action through other means.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/07\/ERCOT.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2917\" title=\"ERCOT\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/07\/ERCOT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/07\/ERCOT.jpg 446w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/38\/files\/2012\/07\/ERCOT-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/a>According to Brattle, \u201ccompetitive DR resources can <strong>reduce our peak demand needs by 15 percent,<\/strong> greatly improving system reliability and playing a critical role in addressing future resource adequacy concerns.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Large commercial and industrial customers, who are already \u201cquite engaged\u201d in various DR programs, only represent 14 percent of the total DR potential in ERCOT.\u00a0 In contrast, during the summer of 2011 <strong>residential and small commercial customers accounted for 72 percent of peak load<\/strong> and \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ercot.com\/content\/news\/presentations\/2012\/Brattle%20ERCOT%20Resource%20Adequacy%20Review%20-%202012-06-01.pdf\">currently provide little DR<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While EDF did not testify at the hearing, we submitted written testimony.
