B.M. DAVIS EXIT SCOPE OF WORK
Phase 1 (complete by January, 2005)• Installation of series reactors on both lines between
White Point and Nueces Bay • Terminate the Lon Hill to CCCP into the Weil substation • Cut in the Nueces Bay – Morris 138-kV line into the
Highway 9 line • Reconnect the Westside to Davis 138-kV line and install
two 28.8 MVAR capacitor banks at Weil, Westside and Airline substations
Phase 2 (complete by June, 2006)• Nelson Sharpe 345/138-kV substation on the south side
of the Corpus Christi at the crossing of Lon Hill to Rio Hondo 345-kV line and Alazan to Celanese 138 kV line
• 150-MVA 30-degree phase shifting transformer

QUESTIONS/MOTION
• ERCOT Staff recommends that the Board approve the Phase 1 and 2 RMR Exit Strategy for B.M. Davis Unit No 1 as described in the RMR Exit document
REJECTED OPTIONS
1. Original Nelson Sharpe Proposal w/ Two Series Reactors
2. Special Protection Schemes3. Seven Series Reactors4. Multiple 138kV Upgrades5. Nelson Sharpe with New 9-mile 345kV
line into Rodd Field
APPROACH
• Staged approach to determine cost effective and timely transmission alternatives
• Near-term Alternatives: Upgrades to existing infrastructure that can be expedited − Do not require CCN− Can be completed in less than three years
• Long-term Alternatives: Future lines and system upgrades necessary to ensure that load is served reliably and without uneconomic RMR support
OPEN PROCESS
• September 15, ERCOT hosted stakeholder meeting in Austin to review short-term RMR alternatives
• September 22, Stakeholders submitted comments to the short-term alternatives
• September 30, ERCOT issued a draft recommendation on RMR short-term exit strategies
• October 9, TAC voted in support of alternatives for Fort Phantom and La Palma
• October 10, Second stakeholder meeting:− Long-term alternatives for the Valley and Laredo and − Short-term alternatives for Corpus Christi
• November 21, ERCOT issues a revised draft exit strategy recommendation for B.M. Davis
• November 26, Stakeholder comments on B.M. Davis exit strategy
• December 4, TAC Support of Exit Strategy
