SCED Load Resource Data (60-Day)

Per-resource, per-interval telemetry for ERCOT's controllable Load Resources — large loads that curtail or provide ancillary services — from the 60-Day SCED Disclosure Reports.

Overview

Each row is one SCED run (roughly every five minutes) for one load resource and its QSE, showing its real power consumption alongside its maximum and low consumption, its high and low dispatch limits (HDL, LDL), its SCED dispatch target (base point) and telemetered status, and its ancillary services. What ERCOT discloses about ancillary services changed with Real-Time Co-optimization plus Batteries (RTC+B) on 5 December 2025. Before it, each row carries the load's ancillary limits (HASL, LASL) and how much of each service it was responsible for (Reg-Up, Reg-Down, RRS, RRS-FFR, Non-Spin, ECRS). From it, those columns are empty and each row instead carries the load's ramp rates, its per-service ancillary capability, the ancillary services SCED awarded it in that interval (RRS by under-frequency relay, ECRS, Non-Spin and, rarely, RRS-PFR), and how much RRS and ECRS its QSE self-provided on it. Because Load Resources are how demand-side capacity participates in ERCOT's real-time market and reserves, this dataset shows demand response actually happening at five-minute resolution — how much load was armed for responsive reserve, when it was deployed, and how it followed dispatch. Like the gen file it is published on a 60-day regulatory delay, making it a historical record for studying demand-side flexibility, reserve provision, and load participation in scarcity events. The official source is ERCOT report NP3-965-ER, 60-Day SCED Disclosure Reports.

Query contract

Preserve one canonical row per (event_time, qse_name, resource_name) before aggregating.

Analysis rules

as_awards_* is the MW of each ancillary service SCED awarded the resource in that interval. ERCOT leaves an unawarded service blank, so NULL means no award: coalesce to 0 before summing across resources or intervals.
as_capability_regup, as_capability_regdn, as_capability_ecrs and as_capability_nspin are ramp rates in MW per minute, not MW. The most the resource can be awarded is that rate times the service's deployment window: 5 minutes for regulation, 10 for ECRS, 30 for Non-Spin. as_capability_rrspfr and as_capability_rrsffr are MW. Never compare an award with its capability as if both were MW.

Interpretation

These demand-side operating records come from a disclosure ERCOT releases sixty days after the fact. The most recent day available is always about two months old, and nothing newer exists yet anywhere — that is the regulatory schedule, not missing coverage. For recent or live operations, use the live grid feeds instead.
RTC+B changed this disclosure on 2025-12-05. hasl, lasl and the as_responsibility_* columns are historical-only and null from that date; ramp_rate_up, ramp_rate_down, as_capability_*, as_awards_* and self_provided_* begin on it.

Coverage

Published on a 60-day disclosure lag — ERCOT releases these reports 60 days after the fact, so the most recent ~60 days aren’t available yet. That trailing window is expected, not a gap in the data.

Dataset	Description
Current Supply, Demand & Intraday ForecastERCOT · 5-minute	ERCOT's public real-time supply and demand dashboard at five-minute resolution. This is the preferred dataset for a current actual-versus-forecast demand comparison: series='realized' reports observed demand_mw and committed capacity_mw; series='intraday_forecast' reports demand_mw, capacity_mw, and available_mw for the same target event_time at successive source_time vintages; and series='forward_forecast' reports forecasted_demand_mw and avail_cap_gen_mw farther ahead. Operators, traders, and researchers use it to measure current forecast error, headroom, and how forecasts converge toward realized demand.
ERCOT Hourly Actual LoadERCOT · hourly	Actual hourly electricity demand in ERCOT, one row per hour with a system total and one column per weather zone. 119,475 hours, 2013-01 to now. Columns: system_mw plus coast_mw, east_mw, far_west_mw, north_mw, north_central_mw, south_central_mw, southern_mw, west_mw. system_mw is ERCOT's own published total, and the eight zones sum to it to within 0.03 MW — so a zone share is simply zone_mw / system_mw. Wide rather than long, so "load right now" and "the 8 weather zone shares of it" are one row, not 9. Every market's load table in this catalog shares the system_mw column and the same hourly grain, so a cross-market demand comparison needs no reshaping.
Hourly Historical System LoadERCOT · hourly	Hourly weather-zone actual-load history for ERCOT, including the eight weather zones and a system total. Use it for zonal and historical hourly analysis; for current system-wide demand and intraday forecast error, prefer Current Supply, Demand & Intraday Forecast (ercot_supply_demand). Analysts use this archive to study load shape and peaks, normalize demand against temperature, and contextualize price moves and reserve conditions. It comes from ERCOT report NP6-345-CD.
Load Forecast (MTLF)ERCOT · hourly (7-day forecast)	ERCOT's mid-term load forecast (MTLF) for the Texas grid, giving the expected electricity demand for each of the next seven days at hourly resolution. The forecast is broken out by ERCOT's eight weather zones plus a system-wide total, and a new vintage is issued every hour, so you can also see how the outlook for a given day shifts as it approaches. Operators use this to plan generation and reserves, while traders and researchers use it to anticipate price and tightness conditions and to study how forecasts evolve and where they miss. The official source is ERCOT report NP3-565-CD, Seven-Day Load Forecast by Weather Zone.
