Infocast’s ERCOT Market Summit

Enchanted Rock is proud to attend and speak at Infocast’s ERCOT Market Summit, a premier forum bringing together policymakers, utilities, and industry leaders shaping the future of the ERCOT power market. As ERCOT navigates rapid load growth, evolving regulations, and heightened reliability expectations, this event provides a timely platform to examine the path forward for resource adequacy, market design, and grid resilience.
