With a single ETOPS alternate there is only one nominated alternate airport and therefore it is impossible to have an ETP. What is important is to understand where the critical point for fuel is. It will either be the ETOPS entry or exit point. The critical point will be the point that is the greater distance from the single ETOPS alternate airport.
