The request will be sent to the TAC where it will have an e-mail vote and I would not anticipate any opposition. To receive the "provisional authorization" the QSE needs to have performed an Ancillary Services qualification test in good faith but failed to qualify due to problems that in the opinion of ERCOT, are noncritical for providing one or more ancillary services. My understanding is that Frontera has not had the primary test. According to John Adams at ERCOT four have been scheduled and subsequently cancelled. It will be critical to schedule and complete the test to be considered for the "provisional authorization". I spoke with John Adams regarding staffing to help perform the qualification tests and he said that they would be able to do the certification tests at about any time without any major scheduling delays. The only time when they would not be able to do the tests would be when ESCA will take control of the systems to perform cut-over operations.
