With bullish demand growth coming from data centers, population growth, and new industrial load, ERCOT will struggle to bring sufficient supply online to meet growth expectations. This imbalance will be further challenged by policy risks at both the federal and state levels that may reduce the available supply of new generation resources. In the meantime, ERCOT will continue to ride a weather-dependent knife edge, with scarcity booms during severe heat waves and cold snaps, and price busts when that weather doesn’t materialize and demand is muted. This webinar will discuss Ascend’s upcoming ERCOT forecast release, and the challenges and opportunities for generators, investors, and LSEs.
