Vistra says it plans to add nearly 2 GW of gas-fired capacity to the ERCOT grid over the next year and seek loans through the Texas Energy Fund.

ERCOT hired Keith Collins, who directs SPP’s Market Monitoring Unit, as its new vice president of market operations to replace Kenan Ögelman.

ERCOT’s latest capacity, demand and reserves report projects summer peak demand will increase to more than 97 GW by 2034.

This summer should bring high temperatures and electricity demand but flat power prices as cheaper fuel offsets heavy load, according to a FERC assessment.

Texas Public Utility Commission staff are preparing for public comment a revised version of ERCOT’s proposed reliability standard.

The Texas Reliability Entity says its latest regional assessment indicates weatherization activities since the disastrous February 2021 winter storm have paid off.

Energy storage resources bailed out the ERCOT grid May 8, providing a record amount of energy to help the Texas grid operator through the first tight conditions of the maintenance season.

ERCOT's Board of Directors has remanded a contentious rule change on IRB ride-through requirements back to the Technical Advisory Committee to reduce the "daylight" between opposition positions.
