About us

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the flow of electric power to 27 million Texas customers - representing about 90 percent of the state's electric load. 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 released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for June 2025. There is a slight risk of ERCOT issuing an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) in the later evening hours as solar generation ramps down. This report also accounts for the continuation of lower EEA probabilities relative to last year due to a near doubling of battery energy storage capacity and improved energy availability during the high-risk hours. Under normal conditions, ERCOT anticipates there will be sufficient generation to meet customer demand. bit.ly/4lvTT4C
