With a major winter storm bearing down on Texas, officials have assured the state that the ERCOT grid is in much better shape to take on freezing conditions than it was five years ago during Winter Storm Uri.

ERCOT proposed revisions to its large load interconnection process just days after a new rule established more rigorous criteria for connecting data centers, bitcoin miners and other power-hungry facilities to the grid.

ERCOT’s Board of Directors has approved staff’s proposed 765-kV Eastern Backbone project and its $9.4 billion capital cost price tag, making it the most expensive project in the grid operator’s history.

Reports of the energy storage industry’s demise are greatly exaggerated, experts said during the American Clean Power Association’s annual Energy Storage Summit.

ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas declared the state of the Texas grid to be "strong" as it heads into a summer where it expects a record peak demand.

Another Texas legislative session has ended with renewable resources and batteries having survived potentially damaging legislation that did not make it to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk.  

PJM's Manu Asthana will join ERCOT's Pablo Vegas in opening the Texas grid operator’s second annual Innovation Summit by discussing how they are adapting to and managing the complexities of “rapidly changing grids.”

ISO/RTO leaders explained the issues facing their markets and took some questions from members, with subjects like FERC's independence and the recent capacity price spikes in PJM coming up.

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.
