Fun weekend in #ERCOT. With outages creeping up as we enter shoulder season and low capacity available to SCED 3 evenings in a row - #energystorage had numerous arbitrage opportunities.
#energysky #π
H1'25 in #ERCOT was marked by low volatility and wide spreads between high & low performers.
π Avg RT energy prices only exceeded $500/MWh in 3 intervals
π Top earners net $6.19/kW-mo, median earned $2.13
β Top performer captured 90% of their DA TB2, median caught 46%

ERCOT Day-Ahead energy premium August 11-15
August 12th DA energy premium and bidding strategy
Last week DA energy cleared at a premium to RT in #ERCOT
β¬οΈ DA cleared $65-200/MWh higher than RT
βοΈ Biggest spread was on 8/12: load forecast was high (83GW+) & wind forecast was low (~7GW)
ERCOT was bracing for scarcity that didn't materialized - and many operators are missing DA opportunities.

Excited to see @maeveallsup.bsky.social feature the Distribution Infrastructure Deferral Framework (DIDF) projects we're optimizing in CAISO! An innovative new use case for batteries that can enhance grid reliability without sacrificing returns. #energysky

The clean energy industry will still move forward post #OBBB.
A reduction in new supply only leads to an increase in electricity prices... which means generation and storage assets increase in value. #energysky

April in #ERCOT:
π Top 20 earners avg $4.75/kW, capturing 89% of DA TB2 and 64% of RT TB2
π Top 20 performers (by TB2 capture) avg $4.39/kW, capturing 99% of DA TB2 and 71% of RT TB2
π RT energy comprised 50% of fleet revenue (up from 43% in Q1 and 26% in 2024)

Who caught ERCOT's Friday night (9pm) price spike?
Caused by a wind miss (4-5 GW wind generation miss vs. DA forecasted P50 value), #ERCOT needed to quickly replace the capacity - RT energy prices shot up the market cap ($5K).

Energy storage is fast becoming the gridβs most valuable resource β but realizing its full potential depends on:
β‘ Software to navigate market and grid complexity in real time
π¨ ISO and market design that unlocks and values its flexibility
Update: a price correction was officially issued. According to ERCOT, "during a software change deployment for the Market Management System (MMS), a software defect caused an unwarranted drop in Real-Time Online Reserves and Real-Time Offline Reserves, which resulted in an erroneous spike"

Anyone catch the red-out across #ERCOT today? Around 3:40pm, LMPs were at the market cap ($5K) across TX ππ‘
High prices were driven by RTORPA, an adder that pays if you're online with headroom to discharge. Batteries with SoC and no AS obligations get the full value of the adder. #energysky
We'd love to connect. We manage a number of hybrid projects today -- happy to share best practices.

Many ERCOT #π operators know there can be a delay between go-live, and qualifying for AS. But, with a flexible optimizer, you can start generating revenue right away with RT energy-only. Given RT volatility - this provides major upside as you prepare for AS. #energysky

Full breakdown: www.tyba.ai/resources/gu...
DA energy is becoming a bigger part of the revenue stack for #energystorage operators in ERCOT. In January, DA energy accounted for 26% of total storage revenue in ERCOT, up from just 9% in 2024.
But DA comes with increased risk.
How are operators managing this risk - or not?
#energysky #π
2024 wasnβt a record year for battery storage revenue β but smart operators stood out.
Top assets made $88.96/kW (2.5x median), with 65% of revenue from AS.
Winners shifted to energy arb, in keeping with evolving market dynamics.

Operators that executed balanced strategies - including DA and AS performed better (captured a higher % of TB2) #π
- Top revenue generators mainly benefited from being at more volatile nodes
- Top performers captured more of the available opportunity by utilizing all available products
December 2024 in #ERCOT was fairly quiet, with storage assets making $1.18/kW (avg) & capturing 33% of RT TB2. Top 10 revenue generators made 81% of revenue from RT energy but captured only 51% of RT TB2 β meaning significant opportunity was left on the table #energysky

Moments before each interval, the optimizer looks at an assetβs SOC, assesses future buying/selling opportunities (forecast based) β then configures and places multiple bids that offer a specific capacity for a given price.

When assessing storage performance, how do you know what good looks like? Total revenue doesnβt tell the full story. In #ERCOT, every node has a different amount of volatility (ie. arbitrage opportunity). Optimal performance is maximizing opportunity capture.
