Qualified Scheduling Entity Services

New Braunfels Utilities (“NBU”) is soliciting Request for Proposals (“RFPs”) from firms who provide Qualified Scheduling Entity (“QSE”) services (the “Services” or “QSE Services”). The requested QSE Services are intended to meet NBU’s requirements as set forth in Section II, Scope of Work, and as defined within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) Nodal Protocols. It is the intent of NBU to select a full-service QSE (the “selected QSE” or “successful respondent”) to register NBU as a Subordinate QSE. The selected QSE will also manage the NBU Congestion Revenue Rights (“CRR”) account. NBU intends to manage all of its own energy supply acquisition, energy schedule management, and CRR bids, as well as provide the associated collateral for the bids. The selected QSE will manage acquisition of all ancillary services, communication and scheduling processes, as well as settlements for the NBU subordinate QSE. The selected QSE will place all bids and collateral registration in the NBU CRR account.
