ERCOT has pushed back the resumption of in-person stakeholder meetings from January to February, the grid operator said Tuesday.

The grid operator had expected to resume face-to-face meetings next month with the Jan. 26 Technical Advisory Committee. It told market participants the meeting will now revert back to a virtual format. Staff will provide another update in January to “manage expectations.”

The postponement was caused by a delayed transition to ERCOT’s new headquarters facility, which was approved by the Board of Directors in 2020. The 37,000-square-foot facility was expected to be ready in January.

Stakeholder meetings will continue to be conducted virtually, as they have been for almost two years now.
