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 December 2025. There is a small risk of ERCOT issuing an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) due to potential winter weather and higher electric demand during the morning and early evening hours when there is little or no solar generation. Under normal conditions, ERCOT anticipates there will be sufficient generation to meet customer demand. bit.ly/3ITtnn6
