The state grid operator may be putting a stop to CPS Energy’s plans to shutter part of its aging Braunig Power Station early next year. In a notice Monday, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said losing the 859-megawatt output from Braunig’s three oldest natural gas-fired units would have a “material impact” on the grid and its reliability. CPS has said the plants are expensive to operate and that it would only be racking up more costs with upgrades to reduce their emissions.
asks ERCOT to approve shutdown of Braunig power units as clean energy transition rolls on CPS Energy’s request to shutter the Braunig units came up Monday during an ERCOT subcommittee meeting, hours after the so-called market notice was posted online. In its next steps, ERCOT will determine whether there are other resources that could substitute for Braunig’s megawatts, Chief Operating Officer Woody Rickerson said during Monday’s meeting of the reliability and markets committee.
September grid emergency ‘uncovers some deficits’ in how ERCOT manages power, renewable energy Shortly after filing plans to close the Braunig units, CPS announced it was adding 1,710 megawatts of natural gas-fired generating capacity through a $785 million deal to acquire three plants in Laredo and Corpus Christi from Talen Energy. It was the city-owned utility’s first acquisition of gas-fired plants in more than a decade. CPS is planning to shutter its coal-fired J.K.
