ERCOT :The Electric Reliability Council of Texas formed in 1970,this is one of eight Independent System Operators in North America, what is the successor to the Texas Interconnected System . TIS(Texas Interconnected System) originally formed in 1941 when several power companies banded together to provide their excess generation capacity to serve industrial loads on the Gulf Coast supporting the US war effort for World War II. ERCOT is one of nine regional electric reliability councils under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965. ERCOT's offices are located in Austin and Taylor, Texas.
The ERCOT region occupies the entire Texas Interconnection that occupies nearly all of the state of Texas. Unlike the other major NERC interconnections, the great voltage transmission and energy market within d Texas Interconnection is operated by ERCOT as essentially a single power system instead of as a network of cooperating utility companies.
