ERCOT says it should have more than enough capacity to meet peak demand under normal conditions during the fall season that begins in October.

ERCOT staff told Texas regulators that the recent Level 2 energy emergency alert was a necessary ”balancing act” to protect the system's equipment and to prevent load shed.

A drop in voltage forced ERCOT to enter emergency operations for the first time since the disastrous February 2021 winter storm.

The Infocast Texas Clean Energy Summit attracted several hundred developers, asset owners, financiers, investors and ERCOT stakeholders to discuss the booming opportunities and looming challenges in today’s renewables environment.

ERCOT announced leadership changes that it said would “sharpen our focus on daily operations” as it battles near daily tight grid conditions.

ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas thanked Texas consumers for helping the grid operator survive tight operating conditions this summer.

NERC's Ken DeFontes says the grid’s three competing objectives, reliability, affordability and the environment, are being thrown out of whack by policymakers focused on environmental legislation.

In what is becoming an almost daily occurrence, ERCOT issued another appeal for voluntary conservation as the Texas grid operator continues to manage tight conditions during a brutally hot summer.

Texas regulators and ERCOT stakeholders are celebrating a year-long study of aggregated distributed energy resources that has resulted in two virtual power plants qualified and able to provide dispatchable power to the state’s grid.

ERCOT stakeholders endorsed the charter and leadership for a task force that will report to the Technical Advisory Committee and provide recommendations on real-time co-optimization and energy storage resources’ state of charge.
