Generation

This page provides current information on Generation Resources, including forecast and actual generation for Wind and PhotoVoltaic (Solar) Generation Resources; Resource Outages; Reliability Unit Commitment (RUC) constraints; Reliability Must Run (RMR) Resource deployments; Fuel Type; and aggregate High and Low Dispatch Limits (HDL, LDL) in the ERCOT region. The Key Documents section provides links to supporting documents related to resource asset registration, Outage scheduling, and monthly ERCOT Wind Integration Reports.

Advanced Action Notice Planning Assessment Input Details

Advanced Action Notice Planning Assessment Input Details

Solar Power Production - Hourly Averaged Actual and Forecasted Values by Geographical Region
This report is posted every hour and includes System-wide and geographic regional hourly averaged solar power production, STPPF, PVGRPP, and COP HSL for On-Line PVGRs for a rolling historical 48-hour period as well as the system-wide and regional STPPF, PVGRPP, and COP HSL for On-Line PVGRs for the rolling future 168-hour period. System-wide and regional generation, are included in this report under column labels with "GEN_" prefixes. ERCOT's forecasts attempt to predict HSL, which is uncurtailed power generation potential. Since generation is impacted by curtailments, the data in this report should not be used to evaluate forecast performance. Steps will be taken to include HSL in this report in the future.
Solar Power Production - Hourly Averaged Actual and Forecasted Values
This report is posted every hour and includes System-wide actual hourly averaged solar power production, STPPF, PVGRPP, and COP HSLs for On-Line PVGRs for a rolling historical 48-hour period as well as the System-wide STPPF, PVGRPP and COP HSLs for On-Line PVGRs for the rolling future 168-hour period. Our forecasts attempt to predict HSL, which is uncurtailed power generation potential. Actual system-wide generation, which is included in this report as “ACTUAL_SYSTEM_WIDE” or “SYSTEM_WIDE” is impacted by curtailments. Because of this, the data in this report should not be used to evaluate forecast performance. Steps will be taken to include Actual System-wide HSL in this report in the future.

Unplanned Resource Outages Report
This report contains a snapshot of all unplanned Resource outages (i.e., Forced Outages and Maintenance Outages) and derates that were active in the Outage Scheduler at any time on the third day before the posting date of this report. The data for these outages is submitted by operators of generation assets and is used by ERCOT staff in the operation of the Texas power grid. This report does not contain Resource outages for generators that are no longer operational on the Texas power grid or have not begun operating on the Texas power grid. This report contains all outages for Resources that are required to enter outages in the ERCOT Outage Scheduler including Generation Resources in Private Use Networks, and Energy Storage Resources. Some smaller operational derates are not required to be reported.
