As grids get smarter, the rules governing them are becoming more complex. Four months in, Texas’ RTC+B is becoming a case study for what that means for operators, software providers, and investors.
From Tyba: “The ‘best’ choice is constantly changing. It’s nearly impossible for a human trader alone — or inferior/legacy software — to evaluate all the variables (price curves, state of charge, penalties, transmission congestion, opportunity costs) in each interval.”
From Amperon: "If you’re a retail electric provider without a battery strategy — whether through distributed energy resources, virtual power plants, or demand response — you’re behind. Batteries will increasingly define real-time price formation and reliability.”
From Agustina Soriano Sergi: "Software that lets operators see, predict, and act in real time — through high-frequency forecasting, automated bidding, granular asset visibility, and optimization platforms that dynamically manage energy assets — will become table stakes in the new regulatory landscape. As flexibility becomes more valuable, platforms that can aggregate, coordinate, and optimize distributed assets are likely to play a growing role."
