Notes
1. "Biomass" includes landfill gas and wood products. "Coal includes coal, lignite, and petroleum coke. "Storage"
includes battery storage and compressed air energy storage (CAES). "Other" includes fuel oil and hydro.
2. Data are compiled from various public sources.
3. There is no assurance that an "Announced" project will be built. For purposes of this report, Staff attempts to update
the status of Announced projects, but an Announced project may be changed to "Delayed" or "Cancelled" depending
on a variety of factors. These factors include (1) public statements from project developers, (2) trade press or news
articles concerning the status of a project, (3) lack of any new information about a project over multiple years, and (4)
removal of a project from the ERCOT Monthly System Planning Report (SPR) without the project having reached
commercial operation.
