- Statewide system average emission rates for each type of emission
- Default fuel mix and default emission rates
Rule 25.476(h) requires each Retail Electric Provider (REP) update the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each product currently offered or offered during the preceding calendar year so that its EFL displays the renewable energy percentages determined by using the 2025 Texas Renewable Content Calculator for generation purchased during the preceding calendar year. The rule also requires each REP report the renewable energy percentages to the registration agent, ERCOT, no later than July 1, 2026.
Another Market Notice will be sent at a later date requesting that REPs submit EFLs to ERCOT pursuant to Rule 25.476(h).
