The Gulf Coast Power Association again reported a record attendance for its annual Fall Conference and discussions on the industry’s future, emerging grid technologies and Texas’ 2025 legislative session.

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.

The Gulf Coast Power Association will revert to a virtual format for its annual fall conference as COVID cases and hospitalizations increase.
