ERCOT PGRR145: Batch Zero Large-Load Owner Readiness Pack
A free owner-side guide to Batch Zero eligibility, attestations, TSP and DSP handoffs, study data, energization and audit-ready evidence under ERCOT PGRR145.
PGRR145 created a one-time transitional process to study the system-wide reliability effects of eligible and committed Large Loads.
This pack helps owners reconcile the legal entity, site, megawatts, point of interconnection, studies, attestations, equipment, financial security, Load Commissioning Plan and energization evidence into one controlled record.
