Challenges of Serving Burgeoning Load Growth in Texas

Faced with an unprecedented expansion of energy demand across Texas, the ERCOT market must generate, transmit and distribute 152 GW of reliable power by 2030, up from 89 GW of today. Rapidly building up system capacity to meet the needs of new data centers, electrification of Permian Basin oil production, and population growth is driving massive investment in an avalanche of new generation, storage, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Simultaneously, the many market and rule reforms, including the $5B Texas Energy Fund mandated in 2023 legislation, implementing real-time co-optimization, and a new dispatchable reliability reserve service are simultaneously changing the risk and reward profiles for all market participants while creating new opportunities for many. What will the ERCOT power market soon look like? Where will new opportunities, challenges and risks emerge? How should market participants position themselves to profit?

Fortunately, Infocast has the answers. Our ERCOT Market Summit 2025 will provide a truly remarkable discussion by Texas policy makers, regulators, utility executives, renewable and dispatchable generation developers, financiers and other experts on how the myriad changes will affect risks, rewards, and challenges in the future, and the strategies that leading players are using to capture new opportunities now.

Infocast's ERCOT Market Summit 2025 will provide an unparalleled deep dive into the impacts of new policies on reliability, power pricing, project development and bankability, and how to best meet the shifting needs of commercial, industrial, and retail customers.

For more than 80 years, WMI has administered the North American Wildlife and Natural Resource Conference. The North American Conference sessions, workshops and more than 150 separate meetings and functions, serve as the annual forum to set conservation policy in North America.

Conference attendees include the administrators of federal, state and provincial wildlife and other natural resource agencies, college and university program leaders, heads of leading private conservation organizations, and other managers, scientists, researchers, officials and students of natural resources. The conference is a regular gathering of professionals to learn and exchange ideas, through a formal program, related meetings and other scheduled business, social and educational events.

The conference format is designed so that attendees leave with

• A better understanding of the origins, complexities and likely solutions to current conservation issues, and

• A better sense of the need for and the methods to achieve coordinated, cooperative management of the continent's wildlife.

The "North American" is outlined annually by a Conference Program Committee, chaired by WMI. As many as 20 different agencies and private organizations have participated in helping set the agenda of the North American. In addition, agencies and organizations schedule more than 150 meetings and functions to overlap and occur in conjunction with each conference.
