Solar plus storage optimization in ERCOT: What developers should know

The independence of the ERCOT market is driving Texas’s energy transition, and pushing ahead solar-plus-storage the new gold standard. However, capitalizing on this trend requires developers to master the state’s volatile market by understanding locational pricing and smart battery operations rather than just bolting technology together.
