2019 ERCOT Outlook report available from LCG Consulting
LCG, January 9, 2019 --Texas continues to see growth in renewable energy resources. In 2018, ERCOT endorsed major transmission projects to serve load growth while relieving congestion in the Far West region. New import and export capabilities are also on the horizon, such as through the integration of Lubbock Power & Light and the possible Southern Cross transmission project.
LCG Consulting (LCG) recently completed a comprehensive hourly simulation of the ERCOT market for 2019 to help stakeholders tackle uncertainties in future ERCOT operations. The Outlook Report outlines future operation of the ERCOT nodal market, including Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs), load zone prices, hub prices and expected congestion. For more in depth analysis, LCG can provide tailored datasets, such as individualized generator performance, hourly prices, and much more.
LCG performed the simulations using the sophisticated and long-standing electricity model, the UPLAN Network Power Model. LCG has been modeling energy systems for more than 30 years and continuously sustains the most up-to-date information on every detail of the Texas grid including minor and major transmission upgrades as well as generation additions and retirement.
