Ercot

Summer is coming to Texas, and so is the potential for new power generation demand records in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the grid operator for most of the state.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) should have enough generating capacity to meet expected power demand this spring and summer, the grid operator said Wednesday.

Texas power demand is increasing faster than previously thought, according to a new report from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates most of the state’s power grid. Texas gets more than half of its power from natural gas-fueled generation.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said Thursday that it expects to have enough power generating capacity available to meet fall and winter demand.

It’s summer in the Lone Star State and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is setting power demand records again.

The federal Clean Power Plan (CPP) could result in the retirement, starting in 2022, of at least 4,000 MW of coal-fired generation capacity — with natural gas making up most of the shortfall — but the plan alone could hike energy costs for consumers up to 16% by 2030, according to a revised analysis by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

Texas should have plenty of generation capacity, natural gas and otherwise, to deal with an expected mild summer and the startup of one big gas-fired facility sooner than expected, officials with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said Monday.

Reliant Resources is doing well in the opening innings of retail electric choice in the ERCOT market and looks to growing retail sales to provide a natural hedge to its wholesale market operations, Chairman Steve Letbetter told stockholders in making a delayed announcement Friday of very positive fourth quarter and full year 2001 earnings for the Resources group and parent Reliant Energy.
