The Texas Public Utility Commission’s staff has recommended the commission approve the construction of three 765-kV transmission lines, rather than 345-kV, into the petroleum-rich Permian Basin to improve the region’s reliability.

The troubled Texas Energy Fund has lost two more projects from its original list of applicants, raising questions about its ability to quickly add 10 GW of gas-fired dispatchable resources to the ERCOT grid.

Texas’ loan program for gas generation has lost two more projects, marking the third and fourth companies to withdraw projects from the due diligence review process.

ERCOT, Oncor and the Texas PUC asked FERC to deny a petition from Puerto Rican company Pluvia to bring the territory under the commission’s jurisdiction.

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Two energy companies have withdrawn projects from the Texas Energy Fund, citing equipment procurement constraints that will keep them from meeting a December 2025 deadline.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.
