There are 4 ancillary services in the ERCOT market: ERCOT uses Regulation Service Up and Down to balance the grid when supply and demand fluctuate due to weather, generation outages, or transmission outages. . Ancillary Services is a graphical representation of the recent deployment of Regulation Up (Reg-Up) and Regulation Down (Reg-Down) and total Ancillary Service awards of other reliability products used to support the transmission of energy to Loads and the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric. . For battery energy storage systems operating in ERCOT, Ancillary Services made up 87% of revenues in the first half of 2023. ERCOT procures these services in the Day-Ahead Market, and they perform two primary functions: They keep grid frequency at around 60 Hz. This set of output levels results in the most economic generation being used to serve the expected generation. . Ancillary services in ERCOT currently include responsive reserve service, regula-tion service, non-spinning reserve service, black start, and emergency interruptible loads. The latter two services are used in emergency and system recovery conditions, while the former three services are used to. . help stabilize the wholesale electricity market. The $3 billion will be financed through bonds, which will be serviced through charges to load serving entities (LSEs), like us, who are a owed to pass these charges onto their cust cipants defaulting on their payment obligations.
