ERCOT relies on a sufficient supply of electric generation to meet demand and maintain capacity reserves for grid reliability. The Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report forecasts potential risks of Energy Emergency Alerts or controlled outages. It uses probability-based modeling to predict insufficient operating reserves during peak demand periods.

The Planning Reserve Margin Analysis section includes documents related to the target reserve margin set by the ERCOT Board of Directors. Drought Risk reports assess potential impacts on generation resources due to drought conditions. Additionally, Wind and Solar profiles are provided for use in ERCOT planning studies, along with Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) reports.
