Texas regulators have approved Entergy Texas’ request to build two natural gas-powered units in MISO’s portion of the state, but they have limited the construction costs eligible for recovery to a combined $2.4 billion.

ERCOT’s Board of Directors has approved staff’s recommendation to pursue the use of 15 mobile generators as an alternative to extending the life of two aging gas units slated for retirement in South Texas.

ERCOT wants to use CenterPoint Energy's leased mobile generators to temporarily resolve reliability issues in the San Antonio area.
