Executive Summary
The ERCOT grid faces a pivotal moment. Senate Bill 1699 presents a unique opportunity for Retail Electric Providers to enhance grid stability, while concerns over “shoulder season” reliability underscore the urgent need for flexible resources year-round. While participation in SB 1699-driven demand response programs is currently voluntary, it represents a clear strategic imperative for the future of the ERCOT grid.
This paper examines how forward-thinking REPs can transform SB 1699’s initial voluntary provisions into a consistent and significant revenue stream by proactively contributing to ERCOT’s essential year-round grid resilience, thereby strategically positioning themselves to meet the grid’s future requirements. Strategic, early action allows REPs to capitalize on current market opportunities, reinforce grid stability, and gain a critical head start on forthcoming grid integration. For REPs ready to lead, the time to act is now.
