SAR-001 Standard Drafting Team: Provision for ERCOT ISO to Participate and Have a Vote

Chair(s): Jerry Ward
Texas Regional Entity Facilitator: Reliability Standards Manager

The SAR-001 Standard Drafting Team (SDT), reporting to the Reliability Standards Committee (RSC), was a group of technical experts responsible for developing a change to the standards processes based upon the approved Standard Authorization Request (SAR) – Revision to Texas Regional Entity (RE) Documents to Provide for the ERCOT Independent System Operator (ISO) to Participate and Have a Vote in the Processes. The SDT was assigned by the Reliability and Operations Subcommittee (ROS) and was approved by the RSC.

The SDT was responsible for addressing the revision of the Texas RE Standards Development Process to include the ERCOT ISO as a voting member of the Registered Ballot Body and RSC along with the other established market segments. The action was approved by FERC on November 2, 2009 in Order 129 FERC 61,096. Implementation is complete.

Collectively, the SDT had the necessary technical expertise and work process skills pertaining to the particular SAR subject. The SDT reviewed stakeholders’ comments and considers modifications to the draft standards. It included a member of the Texas RE staff and the SAR’s originator in addition to the field subject matter experts assigned by ROS. All SDT meetings were open to all interested participants.
