IEEE Published LCG's Study on How Large Flexible Loads Are Reshaping Texas
LCG, August 25, 2025--We are pleased to share that the paper “Economic Impacts of Price-Sensitive Loads in Electricity Reliability Council of Texas: Quantifying Effects of Large Flexible Loads” has been published on IEEE Xplore.
Co-authored by Sidart Deb and Sumedh Halbe of LCG Consulting, this work examines how the rapid growth of large, price-sensitive loads will reshape ERCOT’s grid economics. Understanding and quantifying these impacts is essential for ensuring a future grid that remains reliable, affordable, and sustainable.
Using LCG’s UPLAN market simulation model, the study quantifies how these loads affect key market and system metrics, including:
- Energy prices and scarcity pricing
- Congestion
- Customer payments
- Generator revenues
- Renewable energy curtailment
- Overall production costs
Special thanks to Srijib Mukherjee and Blake King, the guest editors, for their support and guidance throughout this publication.
