On July 13 the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) delivered what it calls a “roadmap to improving grid reliability” to Governor Greg Abbott, members of the Texas Legislature and the Public Utility Commission (PUC).

The organization says the roadmap is a ‘comprehensive plan’ that addresses operational improvements to the Texas power grid, including legislative changes, objectives outlined in the Governor’s letter issued July 6 and other reforms.

“Change is required for ERCOT to continue to reliably serve the millions of customers and businesses that depend on us,” said ERCOT Interim President and CEO Brad Jones. “We have extensively reviewed our processes to better serve Texans and will continue to work very closely with the PUC to ensure we’re aligned in these efforts. These changes will benefit all Texans and support continued economic growth for the state of Texas.”
