ERCOT's Independent Market Monitor is defending its recent report that the grid operator’s newest ancillary service “likely” raised the real-time market’s energy value by at least $8 billion.

A potential name change for ERCOT's Independent Market Monitor has heightened some concerns that Texas regulators are attempting to restrict the IMM's independence.

ERCOT said it did not experience grid reliability issues with the loss of solar generation during Saturday’s annular solar eclipse, in what some saw as a performance check before next year’s total eclipse.

ERCOT seeks approval from Texas regulators for its 2024-25 budget and a 27.9% increase to its system administration fee.

The Gulf Coast Power Association welcome a record audience to its annual Fall Conference and discussions and vignettes on virtual power plants, energy efficiency, demand response, new technologies and grid resiliency.

ERCOT expects normal grid conditions during Saturday’s solar eclipse when solar resources will see their output reduced.

ERCOT surprised market participants with an announcement that it plans to increase operating reserves by requesting an additional 3,000 MW of capacity to shore up the grid for the upcoming winter.

After a down year, the Berkeley Lab sees new utility-scale solar capacity increasing more than fourfold by the mid-2030s to over 50 GW per year.

The Texas Supreme Court will review a lower court ruling on the Public Utility Commission’s emergency pricing orders during the deadly 2021 winter storm, potentially placing billions of dollars at stake.

Texas regulators told ERCOT staff not to include scenarios assuming the loss of more than 8 GW of fossil generation as they develop a reliability standard.
