Who defined the different wind generation scenarios that the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) presented to the PUC for consideration?
The four wind generation scenarios, ranging from a total wind generation of slightly more than 12,000 MW to nearly 25,000 MW, were defined by the PUC for ERCOT to study in its transmission optimization study. ERCOT conducted extensive studies for alternatives to deliver wind generation from the CREZs located in West Texas and the Texas Panhandle to other parts of the state including Central Texas. In its report, filed with the PUC on April 2, 2008, ERCOT presented four scenarios of wind generation.
