Issues Under Review
• I075 – CSA-By Pass flag is being used by CRs
when they do not have a CSA established
– Language in the 814_24 Move-out guide states:
“The owner of CSA could use the code to de-energize a
premise (Only if the CSA REP is also the REP of
Record at the time of the Move-Out effective date).”

Issue I075 (continued)
• ERCOT conducted an impact analysis on setting up
validation to limit the use of the CSA By-Pass code
(REF~2W) under two scenarios:
• REP of Record DUNS only:
180 Hours – Project Required
• Any DUNS associated with the REP of Record (for
REPs that use multiple DUNS numbers):
640 Hours – Project Required
• Cost looks to be prohibitively high
4
Issue I075 (continued)
• >75% of issues traced to a single REP
• ERCOT Client Services has escalated the
issue to the REP
• The REP has indicated that they are taking
steps to stop this practice
• TX SET will continue to monitor volumes
