NOGRR245 is a Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) that strengthens ERCOT’s ride-through performance requirements for Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs), including frequency ride-through and voltage ride-through capabilities.

2. Who must comply with NOGRR245?

All transmission-connected IBRs, Type 1 Wind Generation Resources (WGRs), and Type 2 WGRs that have submitted an extension request or exemption request under PUCT 25.517(c) must provide complete, resource-specific ride-through capability data to ERCOT by September 15, 2025.

3. What is the compliance deadline?

The final deadline is September 15, 2025. Late or incomplete submissions will be rejected by ERCOT, which may result in denial of your extension or exemption request.

4. What forms are required?

You must submit either: IFRTCR (Initial Frequency Ride-Through Capability Report) for frequency requirements (§2.6.2.1) IVRTCR (Initial Voltage Ride-Through Capability Report) for voltage requirements (§2.9.1.2)

5. Where do I send my completed forms?

Send completed IFRTCR or IVRTCR forms to NOGRR245@ercot.com .

6. How do I submit models to ERCOT?

Post-modification models must be submitted via the RIOO system with the label “NOGRR245 Model Submission.”

7. What data must be included in IFRTCR/IVRTCR?

Resource entity details (name, DUNS, site name, unit names) Current ride-through capability tables per Nodal OG format All known technical limitations OEM or engineering verification letters / notarized attestations Planned modifications and implementation schedule Post-modification capability tables and models

8. What if my OEM cannot provide a verification letter?

You must submit a notarized attestation signed by your highest-ranking representative explaining: Efforts taken to obtain the OEM letter Why those efforts were unsuccessful Technical limitations of the resource

9. What deficiencies has ERCOT identified in past submissions?

Missing required technical data Generic, non-resource-specific ride-through data Data not reflecting Point of Interconnection performance Delays due to pending OEM model updates without interim dataa

10. Why are ride-through capability tables required?

These tables document your resource’s ability to ride through frequency or voltage disturbances, ensuring compliance with ERCOT’s Nodal Operating Guides.

11. What is PUCT Substantive Rule 25.517(c)?

This rule outlines the process for requesting an exemption from ERCOT reliability requirements and specifies the data, models, and documentation that must be provided.

12. Can I request an exemption after September 15, 2025?

No. ERCOT will not accept any exemption requests after the deadline.

13. What happens if I miss the deadline?

ERCOT may: Deny your extension or exemption request Require immediate full compliance Impose operational restrictions

14. What’s the difference between IFRTCR and IVRTCR?

IFRTCR – Frequency ride-through capability report (§2.6.2.1) IVRTCR – Voltage ride-through capability report (§2.9.1.2)

15. How does Keentel Engineering assist with compliance?

We provide turnkey ERCOT compliance services, including: Gap analysis of IFRTCR/IVRTCR submissions OEM/engineering letter coordination Notarized attestation preparation Ride-through table creation per Nodal OG Post-modification model preparation and RIOO submissions Full ERCOT & PUCT compliance packages

16. Can I submit generic OEM data?

No. ERCOT requires resource-specific performance data at the Point of Interconnection.

17. What are the risks of providing incomplete models?

Incomplete or inaccurate models may lead ERCOT to reject your submission, delaying approval and forcing immediate compliance without extensions or exemptions

18. What must my model include?

It must reflect post-modification performance and accurately represent all technical limitations.

19. What if my resource is already compliant?

You must submit a statement confirming that your current ERCOT-submitted model fully represents all technical limitations.

ERCOT NOGRR245 Compliance | Meet the September 15, 2025 Deadline

A Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review—the utility’s deep-dive on technical and cost impacts of your project.

Challenge: Frequent false tripping using conventional electromechanical relays
Solution: SEL-487E integration with multi-terminal differential protection and dynamic inrush restraint
Result: 90% reduction in false trips, saving over $250,000 in downtime

ERCOT’s review of over 900 NOGRR245 compliance submittals revealed several recurring deficiencies:

Missing required ride-through technical data
Non-resource-specific, generic ride-through documentation
Data not reflecting Point of Interconnection (POI) performance
Delays due to pending OEM model updates

Without this information, ERCOT cannot properly assess extension or exemption requests, which could delay interconnection approval and put your project’s operational readiness at risk.

For More Information, visit: ERCOT NOGRR-245 Compliance

IFRTCR (Initial Frequency Ride-Through Capability Report) – required for frequency compliance (per Nodal Operating Guide §2.6.2.1)

Each form must include:

Resource and site details
Current capability tables
Known technical limitations
OEM/engineering letters or notarized attestations
Planned software, firmware, or hardware modifications
Post-modification capabilities
Implementation schedule
Limitations that cannot be represented in models
