Monthly generation is reported through EIA-923. Capacity factor uses the current EIA nameplate capacity and is shown only for complete calendar years.
4 ERCOT market resources · Diesel
Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at RN_DEC_AGR_A over 363 days (2025-09-11 to 2026-09-10). This plant is also crosswalked to RN_DEC_AGR_B, RN_DEC_AGR_C, RN_DEC_AGR_D; the point with the deepest price history is shown.
The TB2 figure is a price benchmark, not revenue: it values one perfect-foresight cycle per day between the 2 cheapest and 2 dearest hours of each day, gross of round-trip losses, and excludes ancillary services and any physical dispatch constraint. It describes what this node’s price shape was worth over the window — it is not this asset’s realized capture, and no dispatch is assumed or modelled.
Portfolio membership follows the latest EIA-860 reporting entity. It does not imply ultimate ownership.
The City of Denton reports commercial operation from July 1, 2018.
ERCOT SCED disclosure is delayed, so plant performance windows end at the latest disclosed interval.
