ERCOT

ERCOT’s mobile app was redesigned to empower users with easy access to transparent, reliable, and real-time information on ERCOT grid conditions and operations. The enhancements include improved navigation, additional interactive dashboards, a customizable home screen, and more. Current ERCOT mobile app users need to update to the latest version when prompted by their device. Available for download in the Apple Store and on Google Play.

Members of ERCOT’s Weatherization and Inspection team visited Lower Colorado River Authority’s (LCRA) new Timmerman Power Plant Unit 1 to perform a weatherization inspection and ensure all preparatory activities were completed. Staff members from the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and LCRA were also in attendance. ERCOT works with Market Participants in advance of winter and summer seasons with weatherization inspections and preparedness workshops—just one way ERCOT, its Market Participants, the PUCT, and Texas Legislature are working to strengthen the resiliency and reliability of the grid.

ERCOT released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for November 2025. There is a slight possibility of ERCOT issuing an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) during the November peak load days. The risk is highest during the early evening hours, although there is some risk during the sunrise hours due to the possibility of unseasonably cooler temperatures. Under normal conditions, ERCOT anticipates there will be sufficient generation to meet customer demand. https://bit.ly/45PJ8UV
