Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT)
The Texas Public Utility Commission advanced two generation projects for due diligence review as part of the Texas Energy Fund’s In-ERCOT loan program, filling a hole left by two proposals that dropped out.
ERCOT wants to use CenterPoint Energy's leased mobile generators to temporarily resolve reliability issues in the San Antonio area.
Two energy companies have withdrawn projects from the Texas Energy Fund, citing equipment procurement constraints that will keep them from meeting a December 2025 deadline.
ERCOT released its semiannual but delayed Capacity, Demand and Reserves report that provides potential future planning reserve margins five years into the future that some say are "scary."
ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas says the grid operator’s proposal to build more than $30 billion of extra-high-voltage transmission infrastructure is part of a “new era in planning” and just an incremental step from its normal practices.
The drive to build 765-kV lines in Texas continues to inch forward, with ERCOT and stakeholders working to provide enough information for regulators to reach a decision by May 1 on which voltage level would best meet demand.
The Texas Public Utility Commission has opened an online portal on its website to accept registrations from cryptocurrency mining facilities with a demand of more than 75 MW.
The Texas grid operator raised eyebrows in April when it said its load-growth forecasts had ballooned by 40 GW over the previous year. It said it anticipates about 152 GW of new load by 2030.
ERCOT’s request for must-run alternatives for cost-effective solutions to the congestion problems in San Antonio did not receive any responses by a Dec. 30 deadline, putting the solicitation in serious doubt.
Texas regulators shelved the market design they once favored, agreeing with staff's recommendation that the performance credit mechanism results in “minimal” additional resource adequacy value.
