NOTICE DATE: February 3, 2026
NOTICE TYPE: M-A122325-04 General
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stakeholder Feedback on a proposed Large Load Batch Study process framework
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Transmission Service Providers, Large Load Customers, and other interested stakeholders
DAYS AFFECTED: February 5, 2026
LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT is requesting stakeholder feedback from the February 3, 2026 workshop that discussed the proposed draft framework for changes to the Large Load interconnection process in connection with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) Project No. 59142, Review of ERCOT's Interconnection Processes for Large Loads.
As described in the December 23, 2025 Market Notice, M-A122325-01 ERCOT Large Load interconnection process stakeholder engagement plan and upcoming milestones regarding development of a proposed Batch Study process framework, ERCOT has engaged the PUCT and stakeholders on developing a new Large Load interconnection process - called the "Batch Study process." The high-level proposal of the Batch Study process is to group Large Loads that meet certain stringent requirements into a single study to provide Large Load Customers with study efficiency, consistency, transparency, and certainty while maintaining a system-wide focus on reliability.
Feedback can be provided as follows:
- February 5, 2026, Close of Business: ERCOT requests feedback two ways to prepare for the next workshop on February 12, 2026:
- Survey: Multiple-choice survey to determine different positions on key issues
- Please complete only one survey per company
- The feedback received will only be shared in aggregate at February 12 workshop
- Written public comment: Comments can be sent to LLWG_feedback@ercot.com and will be posted publicly as part of the materials for the next workshop
This market feedback will set the stage for the second workshop the following week, February 12, 2026 workshop.
ERCOT plans to file a proposed Batch Study process framework for discussion at the February 20, 2026 PUC Open Meeting. Any information regarding the Large Load interconnection process will be filed in PUC Project No. 59142, Review of ERCOT's Interconnection Processes for Large Loads.
