MEDIA ADVISORY: Forced Outage List -- Final Update Posted
The final list of generation units that experienced a forced outage during last month’s severe weather event, Feb. 1- 4, has been posted on the ERCOT website in the News/Reports/Emergency Response section at this link.
The forced outages identified by time period are:
- 50 units: Feb. 2, midnight to 5:43 a.m. , the beginning of the rotating outages
- 91 units: Feb. 2, midnight to 1 p.m. , the end of the rotating outages
- 102 units: Feb. 2, midnight to 11:59 p.m. , the full operating day
- 152 units: Feb. 1-4, the full period of the winter storm.
The units on the list represent those whose owners or operators have given ERCOT written consent to publicly disclose the unit names and represent approximately 99 percent of all the units that experienced a forced outage at some time during Feb. 1-4.
ERCOT developed data on the generation outages through review of its internal operator records, outage scheduler information, telemetry data received from generators, and responses to information requests sent to generators.
