AI generated summary

ERCOT has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Must-Run Alternative (MRA) Resources as an alternative to Reliability Must Run (RMR) agreements, specifically for CPS Energy Braunig Units 1 and/or 2. The RFP seeks more cost-effective solutions compared to using mobile generation or entering into an RMR agreement. Any MRA proposal submitted must be able to provide the full amount of awarded capacity 24/7 as directed by ERCOT.

In addition to mobile generation options like CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, the RFP also allows for alternative proposals, including Demand Response solutions. CPS Energy has agreed to make its substations available temporarily for qualified generators to address forecasted Emergency Conditions. However, this allowance does not extend to siting generation at CPS Energy's substations for other purposes besides addressing specific needs during emergencies.
