ERCOT

ERCOT’s mobile app was redesigned to empower users with easy access to transparent, reliable, and real-time information on ERCOT grid conditions and operations. The enhancements include improved navigation, additional interactive dashboards, a customizable home screen, and more. Current ERCOT mobile app users need to update to the latest version when prompted by their device. Available for download in the Apple Store and on Google Play.

Join us May 6 for the second annual ERCOT Innovation Summit. The Summit is an important event for industry stakeholders to collaborate and share knowledge about topics that are vital for ERCOT and other Independent System Operators (ISOs) to continue providing reliable and affordable electricity for their regions.

Remember to set your clocks forward one hour tonight. Did you know? Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.

ERCOT released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for May 2025. There is a slight risk of ERCOT issuing an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) during the evening hours as solar generation ramps down. Under normal conditions, ERCOT anticipates there will be sufficient generation to meet customer demand. bit.ly/4bznEg3

Did you know? ERCOT’s Energy Storage Resources (ESR) dashboard shows the amount of charging and discharging battery production on the ERCOT grid. View the ESR dashboard and 11 others on ERCOT’s Grid and Market Conditions page: bit.ly/4bpnbgx

Raihan Khondker, ERCOT Weatherization and Inspection manager, joined industry leaders at the POWERGEN International conference to discuss the important role weatherization has in grid reliability and resiliency. Since ERCOT doesn’t own, operate, or maintain any of the generation units on the grid, it is important to ensure generation and transmission facilities comply with current weatherization standards to be prepared to serve the consumers of Texas. 

Keith Collins knows electricity markets. After a stint consulting for the New York Independent System Operator, he joined FERC in 2004. After that, he spent years working for the California ISO and the Southwest Power Pool. But it wasn’t until he joined the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as vice president of commercial operations last summer that he started making waves. Unlike many electricity markets in the U.S., ERCOT is deregulated, and its grid is isolated from other systems. It drew a great deal of attention — and ire from some Texans — after a major grid failure during Winter Storm Uri back in 2021. But now, all eyes are on ERCOT as it turns to battery storage as a way to help meet surging demand for power. This week on With Great Power, Keith explains what makes ERCOT’s approach to electricity different from other markets and how the incredible growth of solar generation and battery energy storage systems have changed the Texas grid. They also cover the role of ancillary services and look ahead to how ERCOT’s energy mix will continue to evolve. 🎧: https://hubs.li/Q037crFk0
