Issue Analysis
All interested MPs were involved in the workshop process. 62 Critical Issues wereidentified and a resolution consensus was gained on practically every issue

• Subtractive/Additive Metering Data Requirement– ERCOT TDSPs sending netted 15 minute interval data– Non-ERCOT TDSPs sending all 15 minute interval data
Solution = Adopt ERCOT TDSP methodology
• Mid Cycle Meter Read with Profile Change– Caused by change in IDR, Demand, or TOU status– 4 Options considered, no good compromise solution determined
Solution = Change the meter on cycle read date
• Meter Reads required on Historical Usage Request– Present interpretation requires both meter read and consumption
Solution = Drop requirement to provide meter read
• Consumption Discrepancy– Interval data does not match consumption data
Solution = Revise Tx SET transaction to allow for adjustment

• Pending order waiting completion of City Inspection– TDSPs agree to pend order
Solution = Develop a new transaction to provide electronic notification
• Move In Un-executable– Need a means to notify CR/Customer if a problem exists
Solution = Provide notification on new transaction
• Cancel Move In Request– Permit is no longer needed or required
Solution = Provide notification means to keep record accurate

• Existing Process Creates Service Gaps
– Option 1 - No change, deal with customer problems
– Option 2 - CR manages and communicates problem
– Option 3 - ERCOT manages and communicates problem
• Timing Requirement when CSA in effect– Service not disconnected at Move Out
Solution = Clarify timing requirement, ERCOT ensures switch in 1 business day
• Same CR on a new Move In– CR responsible for final bill determination
Solution = Change existing reject code reason
