RT by @douglewinenergy: This is ERCOT (Texas grid operator) updating rules for their Aggregate Distributed Energy Resource (ADER) Pilot. ADER lets aggregators bundle small distributed resources (home batteries, rooftop solar, EVs, etc.) into one "virtual power plant" that bids into wholesale markets like a big generator. Key changes per the doc: - Max registered capacity per participant: 200 MW → 500 MW - Ancillary services (reserves/regulation) cap: stays 100 MW - QSE limit (portion of a scheduling entity's resources): 50% → 90% It's to handle growing participation and enable more "fast capacity" (quick-ramp batteries/etc.) without hitting limits. Basically, bigger virtual plants allowed now.
