Cycle 4 Survey Update
• There were varying degrees of response to the Cycle 4 Survey
– QSEs with Resources and TDSPs had 100% response to the Cycle 4 Survey
– 84% of QSEs have responded to the survey (up from 72% initially)
– 73% of LSEs have responded to the survey (up from 67% initially)
• This limited response is driving several metrics to red
– QSEs without Resources are red for MP1, MP12, and MP13
– LSEs are red for MP19
• ERCOT Account Managers will continue their outreach efforts to MPs who were non-responsive to the Cycle 4 Survey or who reported negative answers
• The survey will remain open through August 15th
• Updates to the Cycle 4 Survey can be submitted using the excel form found on the metrics website (same process as previous surveys)
