Solar panels supplied more electricity than coal-fired power plants to the Texas power grid in March for the first time, marking an important milestone in state’s energy transition. Electricity ...

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) discussed potential plans for the upcoming solar eclipse in April at a March 7 meeting of the Reliability and Operations Subcommittee (ROS).

As the solar eclipse approaches, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas is gearing up with strategic planning and tools to maintain Texas’ power grid balance.

ERCOT officials confirm that the upcoming total solar eclipse will have significant impacts to solar energy production.

A rare annular solar eclipse is approaching, and the state’s largest power grid said it is prepared to meet energy demand despite a projected strain on solar power production. During this ...

A solar eclipse is coming on Oct. 14 will have an impact on solar generation. ERCOT’s plan does not inspire confidence on how to optimize resources, including ...

Other power sources in place to compensate for the effect of the solar eclipse passing through the ERCOT region Saturday.

Texas power grid will be impacted by Oct. 14 solar eclipse, ERCOT says The grid operator has relied heavily on renewable energy to meet peak demands over the summer.

ERCOT’s pilot program will harvest surplus electricity, giving it back to the Texas power grid for use over the winter.

ERCOT is expecting an avalanche of new wind and solar capacity. By the end of 2023, wind and solar capacity on the the ERCOT grid could exceed 72,000 megawatts. If that happens, Texas will have ...

ERCOT’s Wild Summer Is Over. Solar Looks Like the Winner Texas’ power grid danced near the supply-demand edge this summer. Experts weigh in on what it means for renewables.

Facing an acute energy crunch and given that solar and wind costs have come down a great deal since the first study in 2006, ERCOT dug a little deeper into their historical assumptions and ...
