Outcomes
DECH monitored Texas PUC Project 53911, covering the design and rollout of an ERCOT Aggregated Distributed Energy Resources pilot.
At the time described, task-force recommendations contemplated treating certain aggregations as Aggregated Load Resources capable of participation through existing ERCOT market models.
Initial Pilot Limits
Phase 1 was proposed at no more than 80 MW of statewide ADER capacity, including a 40 MW limit for Non-Spinning Reserve service.
The pilot focused on individual metered sites combining generation, energy storage, or controllable loads with no more than 1 MW of capability per site.
Pilot Timing and Intended Learning
The earlier roadmap called for initial qualification steps in late 2022 and testing from early 2023, with a multiyear pilot before any broader integration.
