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.
