Faced with an unprecedented expansion of energy demand across Texas, the ERCOT market must generate, transmit and distribute 152 GW of reliable power by 2030, up from 89 GW of today. Rapidly building up system capacity to meet the needs of new data centers, electrification of Permian Basin oil production, and population growth is driving massive investment in an avalanche of new generation, storage, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Simultaneously, the many market and rule reforms, including the $5B Texas Energy Fund mandated in 2023 legislation, implementing real-time co-optimization, and a new dispatchable reliability reserve service are simultaneously changing the risk and reward profiles for all market participants while creating new opportunities for many. What will the ERCOT power market soon look like? Where will new opportunities, challenges and risks emerge? How should market participants position themselves to profit?
Fortunately, Infocast has the answers.
