ERCOT is actively working on an agreement to relocate the mobile generation units of CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric from Houston to the San Antonio area as an alternative to initiating reliability must-run agreements with two CPS Energy units that are set to suspend operations. This shift would involve addressing feasibility, regulatory, and cost considerations.

The mobile generation capacity of approximately 500 MW from CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric matches the combined capacity of the two aging CPS Energy Braunig units that are slated for suspension, Units 1 & 2. ERCOT is temporarily setting aside the need for a reliability must-run agreement for Units 1 & 2 to focus on exploring the potential use of mobile generation from CEHE, with discussions ongoing with relevant parties to evaluate technical and cost aspects of this proposed solution.
