M-A032726-01 Stale values for Generation and Constraint Shift Factor Data used in the Real-Time Market


NOTICE DATE: March 27, 2026

NOTICE TYPE: M-A032726-01 Operations

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stale values for Generation and Constraint Shift Factor Data used in the Real-Time Market

INTENDED AUDIENCE: All Market Participants

DAYS AFFECTED: March 10, 2026, 22:05 - 22:15

LONG DESCRIPTION: On Operating Day (OD) March 10, 2026 between 22:05 and 22:15, database latency caused ERCOT's Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) to run on stale generation and shift factor data from the Energy Management System (EMS). SCED runs from 22:20 onward used the correct EMS data.

ERCOT cannot correct prices for OD March 10, 2026, because the input data needed to recalculate the affected SCED results cannot be accurately recreated.

CONTACT: If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via email at ClientServices@ercot.com.
