Frequently Asked Questions about ERCOT

How long has Yes Energy been working in ERCOT?

Yes Energy has been working in ERCOT since 2008, and we’ve seen the market evolve while we’ve adapted through every change.
What actually changed under RTC+B, and why does it matter for traders?

RTC+B introduced real-time co-optimization of energy and ancillary services, changing how prices, reserves, and dispatch are determined. For traders, this means new pricing dynamics, different congestion outcomes, and a greater need to understand what’s driving real-time market behavior.
What other ISOs does Yes Energy work in?

Yes Energy supports power market participants across all 11 North American ISOs and RTOs.
How does RTC+B change real-time pricing and congestion outcomes?

Under RTC+B, real-time LMPs now reflect both the cost of energy and the opportunity cost of providing reserves. This co-optimization can shift congestion patterns and price outcomes, impacting both short-term trading opportunities and risk exposure.
How often does SCED update under RTC+B, and what new signals should traders watch?

SCED continues to run on a five-minute interval but now simultaneously optimizes energy and ancillary services. New signals, such as Updated Desired Set Points (UDSPs), provide additional insight into regulation deployment and real-time dispatch behavior.
What reports changed under RTC+B, and where can traders find the right data now?

More than 100 ERCOT reports were added, modified, or retired as part of the RTC+B transition. Traders need to ensure they’re using the updated real-time price, reserve, and deployment reports to accurately reflect post-RTC+B market outcomes.
How does RTC+B impact batteries, virtual participation, and asset-backed trading strategies?

Batteries are now modeled as a single resource with state-of-charge incorporated directly into real-time optimization, changing dispatch and pricing behavior. RTC+B also enables purely financial virtual participation in ancillary services, which may affect liquidity, spreads, and asset-driven strategies over time.
