Distributed Generation Solutions for ERCOT RECs: Part Two
In part one of this two-part blog series, we took a look at the unique challenges currently facing Texas RECs on the ERCOT grid. It was already important that they provide reliable and stable power to their members while also keeping costs low. Most cooperatives have found short-term power supply solutions, but many of these aren’t […]
Distributed Generation Solutions for ERCOT RECs: Part One
If anyone feels the impact of the shifting energy landscape, it’s Texan electric cooperatives. Specifically those in the ERCOT market. As Brazos sold its 2,200 MW gas-fired generation portfolio, it left a lot of uncertainty for their distribution members. The recent decision from the PUC to implement a “performance credit mechanism” in the market only […]
Distributed generation balances Brownout risk
Summer is underway, temperatures in Texas are already breaking records again. The state has made national news as the latest heat wave looms over the state. Unfortunately for Texans, if the predictions hold, this “heat dome” may not go away soon. According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, summer temperatures across the state have a 33-60% chance of being above normal in July, August and September.
Perceptive Power Infrastructure and Texas Electric Cooperatives
For nearly a century, Texas has met its energy challenges with trailblazing solutions. The Rural Electrification Administration was created in 1935. In the same year, Bartlett Electric Cooperative in Bartlett, Texas began laying line to supply power to 110 rural farms.

Our Model for Distributed Generation Energy Solutions
Our model for distributed generation energy solutions answers this question: Is it possible to use distributed generation to change part of your cost structure in a way that benefits you? This is a key question we ask at Perceptive Power Infrastructure. We know that distributed energy resources (DERs) can be beneficial, but each energy retailer […]
Grid-tied microgrids: The best of both worlds
The US electricity grid is nothing short of a wonder. According to the EIA, this modern feat of engineering connects the energy created by 7,300 power plants to America. In 2022, 60% of that power was generated by fossil fuel sources, with natural gas alone making up nearly 40%. A further 18% came from nuclear […]
