In a filing with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, ERCOT said that, given various system changes, "ERCOT preliminarily estimates a delivery of an LSE obligation no sooner than three years in the future."

"Like the decision regarding LSE performance, decisions regarding this design element are expected to play a significant role in the complexity of the design of ERCOT's core systems and implementation timelines. Again, this is particularly true for the questions above related to the processes for assessing and allocating penalties, as opposed to the question regarding the size of the penalties. In addition to settlements and billing and credit systems, grid resource performance monitoring is expected to involve ERCOT's energy and market management systems. These systems would be required for collecting real-time information necessary to evaluate grid resource performance, such as status and operating levels. New market-facing reporting would also be needed for communicating performance," ERCOT said

Concerning a Dispatchable Energy Credits (DEC) program, ERCOT said, "If this program is determined to have energy management system changes, delivery would most likely be sometime beyond 2024."

"Decisions regarding this design element are expected to play a more significant role in the overall complexity of the design of ERCOT's core systems, specifically settlements and billing and credit systems, and, therefore, could have a more significant impact on implementation timelines. This is particularly true for the questions above related to the processes for assessing and allocating dollars or addressing LSE deficiencies, as opposed to the question regarding the size of penalties or other measures. New market-facing reporting would also be needed for communicating performance," ERCOT said of a DEC program
