⚡️🎉 ERCOT has approved EACs! ‼️
The
@ERCOT_ISO Board of Directors just voted unanimously to create a voluntary system of Energy Attribute Certificates, or EACs.
An EAC is a tracking instrument that allows consumers to know, with granular detail, where their electricity is coming from, who produced it, and which resources were used to do so. TEBA proposed the creation of this system last year — we're thrilled to see it come to fruition.
This voluntary program will create vital transparency on the Texas power grid, and it works for every form of generation. EACs also will make it much easier for customers to support new technologies, helping unleash a new wave of innovative projects that will help meet the state’s growing energy needs.
“EAC’s will provide a mechanism to supercharge the growth of advanced energy technologies on the grid — including new nuclear resources, demand flexibility, carbon capture projects, higher-impact battery storage, and other energy solutions — by providing transparent information about the energy those resources create,” said
@baker_bryn, TEBA’s state director.
