ERCOT seeks approval from Texas regulators for its 2024-25 budget and a 27.9% increase to its system administration fee.

The Gulf Coast Power Association welcome a record audience to its annual Fall Conference and discussions and vignettes on virtual power plants, energy efficiency, demand response, new technologies and grid resiliency.

ERCOT expects normal grid conditions during Saturday’s solar eclipse when solar resources will see their output reduced.

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.

After a down year, the Berkeley Lab sees new utility-scale solar capacity increasing more than fourfold by the mid-2030s to over 50 GW per year.

The Texas Supreme Court will review a lower court ruling on the Public Utility Commission’s emergency pricing orders during the deadly 2021 winter storm, potentially placing billions of dollars at stake.

Texas regulators told ERCOT staff not to include scenarios assuming the loss of more than 8 GW of fossil generation as they develop a reliability standard.  

ERCOT stakeholders endorsed a protocol change to the minimum state of charge for energy storage resources participating in two of the grid operator’s ancillary services.

ERCOT’s Independent Market Monitor says the grid operator’s recent implementation of its first ancillary service in 20 years has nearly doubled the amount of required online reserves.

Texas reliability and regulator officials are praising the state's efforts to weatherize their facilities following the disastrous 2021 winter storm, while the results bear them out.
