ERCOT has announced the cancellation of its Request for Proposal (RFP) for Must-Run Alternatives concerning the use of CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric's mobile generation as a substitute for a Reliability Must-Run (RMR) agreement for CPS Energy's Braunig Units 1 and 2. The decision comes after ERCOT did not receive any proposals that were deemed more cost-effective than the existing options.

Looking ahead, ERCOT plans to discuss this matter during its Board of Directors meeting on February 4, 2025. Additionally, ERCOT staff is expected to present recommendations regarding whether to proceed with the RMR agreement for Braunig Units 1 and 2 or to adopt the Life Cycle Power mobile generation solution at a future special Board meeting.
