As the independent system operator (ISO) for the region, ERCOT schedules power on an electric grid that connects more than 54,100 miles of transmission lines and 1,250+ generation units, including Private Use Networks. ERCOT also performs financial settlement for the competitive wholesale bulk-power market and administers retail switching for 8 million premises in competitive choice areas. ERCOT is a membership-based 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation, governed by a board of directors and subject to oversight by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Texas Legislature. ERCOT's members include consumers, cooperatives, generators, power marketers, retail electric providers, investor-owned electric utilities (transmission and distribution providers), and municipal-owned electric utilities.

ERCOT has released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for November 2024. This report accounts for potential low wind generation and increased thermal plant outages relative to the summer months. There is a slight morning Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) risk due to the possibility of winter-like low temperatures prior to the upwards ramp in solar generation. Under normal conditions, ERCOT anticipates there will be sufficient generation to meet customer demand. bit.ly/3z4Q4jt
