ERCOT says it leaned on Texas’ 15 mobile generating units and an RMR unit during the state’s first major cold-weather event since 2021’s disastrous Winter Storm Uri.

Texas regulators have approved Entergy Texas’ request to build two natural gas-powered units in MISO’s portion of the state, but they have limited the construction costs eligible for recovery to a combined $2.4 billion.

ERCOT’s Board of Directors has approved staff’s recommendation to pursue the use of 15 mobile generators as an alternative to extending the life of two aging gas units slated for retirement in South Texas.

ERCOT wants to use CenterPoint Energy's leased mobile generators to temporarily resolve reliability issues in the San Antonio area.

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 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.

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.

ERCOT’s Board of Directors signed off on staff’s recommendation to move forward with executing an RMR contract for CPS Energy’s Braunig Unit 3, deferring a decision on the gas plant’s other two smaller units.
