ERCOT has issued a watch effective now through February 6 as winter weather moves in, since the cold front will bring freezing temperatures and precipitation to the state.
— The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued a watch effective now through Sunday, February 6 as winter weather moves in.
“ERCOT is using all the tools available to manage the grid effectively during this winter weather,” said Interim CEO Brad Jones. “ERCOT will deploy all the resources and aggressively implement the tools available to us to manage the grid reliably during this winter weather.”ERCOT officials say they have implemented several reforms to increase the reliability of the Texas grid, including:
Requiring CEO attestations of weather readiness. A rule change implemented last year requires all market participants who own or operate generation resources and/or transmission/distribution power lines to submit a letter signed by their CEO twice a year certifying their companies have completed their weatherization preparations to protect the electric grid for the summer and winter seasons.
Assessing on-site fuel supplies. ERCOT has assessed the on-site fuel supply for some gas-fired generators.
