TCPA is proud to announce our new partnership with @PoweringTexans. Together, we will advocate for policies that support the reliable, dispatchable generation resources needed to ensure Texas continues to lead the nation in economic growth and opportunity.
Recently, TCPA was honored to host @ERCOT_ISO board members & executive teams at @ConstellationEG Wolf Hollow II & @VistraCorp Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plants. Both are critical to serving load in ERCOT & ensuring reliable power to the grid. TCPA thanks our attendees & hosts!
Last week, TCPA was pleased to host @ERCOT_ISO board members & @PUCTX Commissioner Jackson at several of our companies’ power plants in the Houston area. The tour included a CCGT, LM 6000 fast start peaker & the largest power plant in Texas that produces over 3,700 MW.
Actual forced thermal outages just after midnight on 1-21 were 6,358 MW or 36% below the low end of what ERCOT expects. While outages are normal and expected, TCPA is proud to highlight strong performance by thermal generators this winter.
The thermal fleet in ERCOT has performed very well during Winter Storm Enzo, exceeding @ercotiso expectations. Forced thermal outages for January in the MORA - monthly operating & resource adequacy - report showed a low-end expectation of 9,919 MW in unplanned thermal outages.
TCPA members are encouraged by the progress of market reforms enacted by the Texas Legislature and look forward to continuing to work with the PUC & ERCOT on implementation. We're excited to be a part of the solution by putting our capital to work for Texas consumers!
Rockland Capital Managing Partner Scott Harlan discussed the impacts of various policy and market changes in relation to building more dispatchable power. Great discussion on #txenergy policy at @GCPAssociation spring conference
Insightful info by @Calpine CEO Thad Hill at @GCPAssociation spring conference on what needs to happen from the perspective of people who are deploying capital in ERCOT to build new gas generation. #txlege #txenergy
