Implementation Plan:
Since the implementation of e-Tag 1.8.3 changes impacts both the Electric Industry Registry (EIR) and tagging, and in an effort to provide the industry sufficient time for transitioning e-tags from one version to another, the roll out of version 1.8.3 is planned in three phases:
Phase 1: Availability of EIR functionality to support the Market Operator Role
EIR functionality to support the registration of Market Operators will be available on May 2, 2017.
As part of this phase, industry participants will be able to register under the Market Operator role in the EIR. The EIR will also start publishing the Market Operator registry data. All tags created during this phase will be 1.8.2 tags, and market adjusts from BAs/TSPs registered as market operators in the EIR via the legacy flag will still continue to work as they do today. This phase is intended to provide Market Operators sufficient time to register under the Market Operator role in the EIR.
Phase 2: E-Tag v1.8.3 Implementation
Vendors will enable the new e-Tag version at the Implementation Date. E-Tags created prior to the cut-over will be 1.8.2 e-Tags and will work as they do today. E-Tags created at and after the cut-over will be 1.8.3 e-Tags and will behave as per the 1.8.3 changes (these e-Tags may optionally have Market Operators listed on them, however, if present, these Market Operators will be required to approve e-Tags and will have the ability to perform market adjusts on these e-Tags).
after the cut-over
no later than the 1.8.2 Retirement Date Vendors will work with end users to provide the ability to determine which tags are using version 1.8.2 of the e-Tag Specification. Tag Authors will be responsible for recreating the tags. Recreation of the tags may be made at any time between the 1.8.3 Implementation Date and the 1.8.2 Retirement Date.
