About Us

Headquartered in Austin, Texas Reliability Entity, Inc. (Texas RE) performs the regional entity functions described in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which created Section 215 of the Federal Power Act, for the ERCOT region, as mandated by the delegation agreement with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). The delegation agreement was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Texas RE is authorized by NERC to develop, monitor, assess, and enforce compliance with NERC Reliability Standards within the geographic boundaries of the ERCOT region.

In addition, Texas RE has been authorized by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and is permitted by NERC to investigate compliance with the ERCOT Protocols and Operating Guides, working with PUCT staff regarding any potential protocol violations.

Texas RE is independent of all users, owners, and operators of the bulk power system.

The regional entity functions and protocol compliance were previously performed by Texas Regional Entity, a functionally independent division of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Texas Reliability Entity took over all responsibilities of Texas Regional Entity on July 1, 2010.
