ERCOT Frequency Response Program

Fast Frequency Response (FFR)

ERCOT has implemented the FFR Program to improve the stability and reliability of the grid in Texas. This program is designed to address sudden imbalances between power supply and demand. Participants must be able to rapidly respond to frequency deviations by utilizing assets that can either increase or decrease power output to help stabilize the grid. Our leading, fast-responding VIO Link technology has demonstrated its capability on complex global power systems across a range of industries by responding to these types of events within milliseconds, earning our client’s revenue with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.

How to Participate

If your commercial or industrial business has onsite back-up generation or equipment that can have its electricity consumption reduced for brief periods, then Demand Response could be a viable opportunity for your business.

Suitable non-critical equipment may include air conditioning, ventilation, electric heating, water chillers, fans, pumps, and other interruptible loads.

As a large energy user, we wanted to do more to support carbon reduction and boost renewable utilisation nationally. VIOTAS had the knowledge to provide me with the market details, road map, and confidence to proceed with our ambition to participate in the Frequency Response Market.
