Resource Entities

Resource entities (REs) either own or control a generation resource or behave as a Load Acting as a Resource (LaaR) that can comply with ERCOT instructions to reduce electricity usage or provide an ancillary service.

Registration

REs and their assets must be registered separately, using the forms below. Each RE must also be represented by a qualified scheduling entity (QSE), which establishes a control interface with ERCOT.

REs should review the following important information:

New Generation Resources: Key Actions to Integrate Successfully with the ERCOT System
Established Generation Resources: Key Actions to Change QSE Representatives
REs Registering as LaaRs: Load Participation Program

Most REs must also be registered with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). More information on that registration process may be found at the Power Generation Companies and Self-Generator Registration area on the PUCT website.
