Speakers at NERC's annual grid security conference noted that new technology provides opportunities both for threats to the grid as well as for its defenders.

ERCOT staff and CPS Energy continue to work “very closely” in negotiating reliability must-run contracts for three aging coal-fired units the grid operator says are necessary for reliability.

ERCOT’s rule change to the Nodal Operating Guide that imposes voltage ride-through requirements on inverter-based resources has been partially approved, but much work remains.

ERCOT issued an RFP seeking alternatives to a reliability must-run contract with CPS Energy, compensating for the utility’s planned retirement of a power plant.

ERCOT is searching for alternatives to replace capacity that will be lost with the planned retirement of three gas-fired units near San Antonio.

ERCOT has attracted a full house for its first Innovation Summit, featuring thought leaders in energy research and innovation exploring “solutions that use innovation to impact grid transformation.”

CPS Energy notified ERCOT it plans to “indefinitely suspend operations” at three aging gas-fired units in 2025, further reducing the Texas grid’s thermal capacity.

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.

The Texas Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a pair of lawsuits that could determine whether ERCOT has a right to sovereign immunity from lawsuits.
