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.

ERCOT says it should have more than enough capacity to meet peak demand under normal conditions during the fall season that begins in October.

The BIG WIRES Act would require FERC to set minimum transfer capabilities between regions to better connect the grid in order to promote reliability and ship cheap power around the country.

ERCOT staff told Texas regulators that the recent Level 2 energy emergency alert was a necessary ”balancing act” to protect the system's equipment and to prevent load shed.

An SPP Resource Adequacy Summit provided an opportunity for federal and state regulators, academics, market participants and stakeholders to discuss the reliability issues facing the grid.

A drop in voltage forced ERCOT to enter emergency operations for the first time since the disastrous February 2021 winter storm.

The Infocast Texas Clean Energy Summit attracted several hundred developers, asset owners, financiers, investors and ERCOT stakeholders to discuss the booming opportunities and looming challenges in today’s renewables environment.

ERCOT announced leadership changes that it said would “sharpen our focus on daily operations” as it battles near daily tight grid conditions.

ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas thanked Texas consumers for helping the grid operator survive tight operating conditions this summer.

NERC's Ken DeFontes says the grid’s three competing objectives, reliability, affordability and the environment, are being thrown out of whack by policymakers focused on environmental legislation.
