AI generated summary
ERCOT has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking Must-Run Alternatives (MRA) to address reliability needs due to the proposed suspension of operations for Braunig Resources, contractually obligated to CPS Energy until March 31, 2025. The Braunig Resources are crucial for ERCOT System reliability, and the MRA RFP aims to find more cost-effective ways to mitigate identified performance deficiencies than maintaining them under an RMR contract.
The MRA RFP invites proposals from Qualified Scheduling Entities (QSE) to provide resources for various seasons between April 2025 and March 2027. Eligible resources include generation, storage, and demand response solutions. Evaluations will consider price competitiveness and the resource's ability to reduce loading on designated transmission lines during specific outage conditions. The deadline for offers is September 9, 2024, with ERCOT hosting a workshop on August 15 and planning an updated RFP by August 21, 2024.
