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!

Our member companies are powering Texas and powering the economic development that has made Texas #1 in business for many years. Thank you to our attendees and to hosts @Calpine, @nrgenergy, & WattBridge for the wonderfully educational day.

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.

[TCPA @TXCompPower]

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 have a proven track record of responsibly building and operating natural gas generation resources in ERCOT and are proud to have nine projects selected to help meet the growing dispatchable generation needs of Texas.

[TCPA @TXCompPower]

In August, TCPA members were honored to have seven projects totaling 3,826 MW selected by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) to advance to due diligence under the Texas Energy Fund (TEF) In-ERCOT Generation Loan Program.

[TCPA @TXCompPower]

Today, the PUCT endorsed an additional 1,231 MW of new generation resources by TCPA members to proceed to due diligence under the TEF. This brings the potential new generation by TCPA members in this program to 5,057 MW.

[TCPA @TXCompPower]

@PUCTX selected the portfolio of gas generation projects to move forward to due diligence for TX Energy Fund $. Proud to have 7 member companies with 3,826 MW of the portfolio that were selected. We look forward to continuing to power the economic development in Texas. #txlege
