Texas regulators have rejected the second-largest project from its portfolio of potential generation resources that would be built with state funds.

The Texas Public Utility Commission selected 17 generation projects for further review as part of a $5 billion loan program intended to add dispatchable, or thermal, generation to the ERCOT grid.

ERCOT’s rule change to the Nodal Operating Guide that imposes voltage ride-through requirements on inverter-based resources has been partially approved, but much work remains.

Texas lawmakers and regulators are trying to figure out how a puny Category 1 hurricane could have caused the devastation in Houston that led to long-term outages, and CenterPoint Energy has borne the brunt of the scrutiny.

Xcel Energy says it relies on industry best practices and its own experience in beefing up wildfire mitigation plans.

Entergy promoted its Hurricane Beryl response alongside a pair of pending settlements with Louisiana regulators over rates and the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station during a second quarter earnings call.

MISO said damage wrought from Hurricane Beryl triggered an overnight electrical island in a Southeastern Texas load pocket.

Clean energy nonprofits continued to try to persuade Entergy and MISO South state commissioners to embrace a broader view of cost allocation for an upcoming long-range transmission portfolio the RTO intends for the subregion.

Transmission providers say Hurricane Beryl’s high winds deep inland in a heavily-wooded region led to significant customer outages that will last more than a week after the storm’s landfall.
