Overview The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) was given only 15 months to create a new wholesale electricity market structure and a new retail market infrastructure, as well as help develop the processes that would enable the ERCOT staff to facilitate the competitive market activity. ERCOT teamed with Accenture to create a new electricity market structure with a particular focus on grid management, market operations, commercial operations, and data warehousing. Accenture helped ERCOT meet the tight deadline through visionary ideas, precise execution and strong collaboration with leading industry players. The innovative design and state of the art technology used to support the ERCOT market have established a new benchmark for deregulated electricity market infrastructures worldwide.
