Pilot Projects
ERCOT may identify a need to conduct pilot projects for the purpose of studying new services or technologies, as permitted by P.U.C. Substantive Rule 25.361(k). Pilot Projects allow ERCOT to evaluate costs and benefits of proposals without full implementation through the ERCOT Protocols. ERCOT will post the governing documents for each pilot project on this page. Comments on proposed pilots may be sent to pilotprojects@ercot.com
