Oct 31, 2024 U.S. ISO/RTO Regions The energy storage market, driven in large part by the Inflation Reduction Act, is hot and active, with many developers and investors making new investments and growing their storage portfolios. Unfortunately, overall market growth does not mean low risk for developers and the cost of picking the wrong market, revenue stack, contracting structure, or technology could spell disappointment for investors as they watch others pass them by. Sound and informed guidance on energy storage development is absolutely critical to capitalizing on this important growth area. At Camelot, we provide comprehensive market analyses across all U.S. Independent System Operator (ISO) and Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) regions. Our team analyzes each market’s unique characteristics, helping solar and energy storage developers identify the best opportunities for deploying Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and hybrid projects. Here are some key points for each region: ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) ERCOT doesn't have a firm real-time ancillary service market, relying sporadically on Supplemental Ancillary Service Market (SASM) auctions to make up for gaps in day-ahead obligations. However, by 2026, ERCOT aims to roll out a real-time co-optimization system for energy and ancillary services. Moreover, as storage saturates the market and as real-time co-optimization between energy and ancillary services gets implemented, ancillary services prices are expected to decline in the near term. Despite the potential saturation of ancillary services in ERCOT, the ongoing deployment of non-dispatchable renewable energy there, and the potential for new load growth, is helping the Lone Star State retain center stage for energy storage developers. However, many developers that come to Camelot for guidance make the mistake of thinking any Texas ESS project is likely to be successful. In reality, identifying the optimal placement and technology mix means all the difference between a profitable ESS project and one that struggles to pencil. Overall, the Houston Hub faces a lower risk of ERCOT related issues, including curtailment, compared to the South hub, which is likely to experience increasing challenges. CAISO (California Independent System Operator) Energy price volatility in CAISO increased significantly in 2022 and is projected to remain elevated in upcoming years, driven by higher gas prices and concerns over system reliability, creates a strong opportunity for BESS. Gas Pricing: Despite less expensive generation from solar and wind, elevated gas prices, impacted by supply constraints and global market dynamics, contribute to higher electricity prices. The availability of cheap electricity from renewables, combined with relatively expensive electricity from gas turbines during periods of low solar and wind resource, create a strong economic opportunity for energy storage. In addition to daily arbitrage, the combination of renewables generating under long-term fixed price contracts and flexible energy storage assets creates a valuable price hedge against fluctuating natural gas prices. System Reliability: CAISO’s grid faces reliability challenges due to increasing reliance on non-dispatchable renewable energy sources like solar, coupled with aging infrastructure, severe weather, and peak demand spikes, especially during summer heatwaves. BESS can mitigate these issues by providing grid stability, fast-acting reserves, and ancillary services to maintain balance. This growing demand for reliability services, along with capacity payments, offers BESS projects multiple revenue streams and a strategic edge in this volatile market. Moreover, California’s aggressive renewable energy targets make it a prime market for BESS projects. Our market overview highlights CAISO’s resource adequacy and ancillary services market changes, helping you understand how to optimize project returns. SPP (Southwest Power Pool) SPP offers significant wind energy potential and continues to expand its transmission network. The surge in renewable energy within SPP is causing a downturn in electricity prices, especially during periods of strong winds, which places intense financial stress on thermal power sources and underscores the importance of adaptable capacity and presents an opportunity for Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES). Our insights into SPP’s market dynamics focus on strategies to capture ancillary service revenues and enhance renewable energy integration through storage solutions. In addition, our team has demonstrated experience in deploying LDES solutions for BTM and FTM projects, putting us in a position to provide strategic insights in this space. PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland) Interconnection PJM is undergoing rapid data center expansion, especially in Northern Virginia which has put pressure on the grid, causing congestion and high nodal power prices in the Dominion territory. As one of the largest RTOs, PJM presents a strong market with various revenue streams, including capacity and ancillary services. We provide clients with analysis of PJM’s capacity market changes, ensuring projects align with this highly competitive landscape. MISO (Midcontinent Independent System Operator) MISO is currently experiencing a significant transformation in its energy landscape. This shift is characterized by an accelerated adoption of renewable energy sources, alongside a concurrent phase-out of thermal generation plants. Key drivers behind this transition include elevated prices for natural gas and electricity, legislative actions at federal and state levels, demand from energy off-takers, and increasing pressure from stakeholders. MISO's vast geography and increasing renewable penetration create opportunities for BESS projects. Our team helps you understand the benefits of locating projects near congested nodes to optimize project returns. NYISO (New York Independent System Operator) New York is pioneering ambitious climate policies that prioritize storage development. With the recent update to the Energy Storage Roadmap by the New York PSC, storage deployments are expected to increase by 2030 to achieve 6 GW of energy storage. This includes the procurement of 3 GW of bulk storage through an Index Storage Credit (ISC) mechanism, 1.5 GW of retail (Community/C&I) storage, and 200 MW of residential energy storage through the VDER structure, marking a significant shift towards expanding utility-scale storage in the NYISO market to enhance grid reliability and support renewable energy integration. Our NYISO market overview covers key programs, including the Value Stack and Clean Energy Standard, providing guidance to help you understand program specifics and on to provide you with accurate project revenue estimates. We provided some background on the VDER program to help developers and investors better understand this critical framework, which you can view here . ISO-NE (ISO New England) ISO-NE is currently in the early stages of a major shift in market dynamics, transitioning into a period characterized by rapid renewable energy growth, concurrent retirement of thermal generation facilities, and a surge in storage deployment, all fueled by state policy objectives and incentives for clean energy. ISO-NE faces grid reliability challenges and peak demand concerns, making it ideal for storage solutions. We offer insights on ISO-NE’s capacity market changes and BESS opportunities in this renewable-rich region. With Camelot’s help, developers and investors can make confident investment decisions about target markets, project economics, and navigating the latest policy and regulation challenges. We work across all the major markets and developers rely on our market expertise for everything from negotiating tolling agreements to prioritizing their portfolios of merchant market ESS projects.

May 6, 2026 Field Failures Field Failure #1 : Improper Conductor Torque Ensuring safety and reliability in PV electrical systems starts with attention to detail - here’s a stark reminder of what can happen when conductor terminations are not properly torqued The visible damage to this electrical panel serves as a powerful illustration of how incorrect torque can lead to overheating, equipment failure, or even fire hazards Not to mention any catastrophic failure could potentially propagate and impact other physically and or electrically adjacent equipment Always double-check your connections for the correct torque specifications to maintain system integrity and prevent costly downtime and cost overruns. Field Failure #2 : Improper SWPP Measurers Improper stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) measures can lead to significant erosion and sediment accumulation, as seen in the image. This not only damages our construction sites and surrounding properties but also poses a risk of substantial fines from the Department of Environmental Protection. Let’s commit to effective erosion control and protect our environment. Proper SWPPP measures are crucial for maintaining site integrity and avoiding costly penalties. Field Failure #3 : Proper Direct Burial Conductor Bedding Proper installation practices are essential for the safety and efficiency of PV electrical systems. Improper bedding of direct burial conductors can lead to significant issues, including system failures, safety hazards, and costly repairs. When conductors are improperly bedded, as in this case, where construction debris was left in the trench with the direct burial conductors causing abrasion and ultimately leading to complete conductor failure. Camelot Energy Group plays a critical role in preventing these problems by overseeing the installation process, ensuring that proper QA/QC process is followed, and adherence to industry standards and best practices.

Nov 11, 2025 ERCOT RTC + B ERCOT’s transition from Operating Reserve Demand Curve (ORDC) scarcity pricing to the new RTC+B framework marks a fundamental shift in how batteries and other resources will earn value in Texas’ evolving ancillary services market. ERCOT’s ORDC scarcity pricing is being replaced with a more balanced, data-driven framework. TB-2 valuations have been trending over the last 6-9 months. The composite TB-2 is up by more than 20% (7-year term, Q1 2027 PIS) According to E3, after the passage of the Budget Reconciliation Bill, the phase out of tax credits for solar and wind result in lower deployments and a roughly $15/MWh increase in average annual energy prices from 2026 to 2035. RTC-B is going to be implemented by the end of the year by retiring ORDC scarcity adder. This means that asset owners must prepare for lower ancillary service revenues, higher arbitrage shared, and upside tied to scarcity frequency post implementation This also required four (4) new telemetry points: Frequency Responsive Capacity High Limit (HFRL in MW) High limit of the resources’ capacity that is frequency responsive Frequency Responsive Capacity Low Limit (LFRL in MW) Frequency Responsive Capacity Factor (FRQF) Maximum amount of total base point provided by the frequency responsive capacity of the resource Inactive Power Augmentation Capacity (PAUG in MW) Power augmentation capacity that is not on-line in HSL. This is used in SCED to determine the portion of the non-spin award that will be provided by power augmentation capacity that is not active and deployed as offline non-spin The new telemetry points are intended to inform Security Constraint Economic Dispatch (SCED) the Frequency Responsive Capacity of the resource to ensure that the Regulation and RRS-PFR awards are within the frequency responsive capacity. There are no frequency responsive capacity limitations when providing Non-Spin and ECRS The new demand curve will increase the ancillary service prices under scarcity conditions; however, we note that the scarcity adder will kick in first for RRS and ECRS before RegUp Currently, the onus is on the QSEs to ensure that Regulation and/or RRS-PFR are not coming from the steamer capacity and preserve sufficient headroom on GTs. ERCOT also enforces real-time and post-hoc compliance checks. The improved telemetry will eliminate this burden on QSEs and ERCOT. In practice, the optimization process ensures that resources are not incentivized by prices to deviate from their awards, i.e., a BESS will receive the same operating profit it would have received from the energy market, making it indifferent to the scheduling of its capacity for energy or ancillaries. For ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service (ECRS) it states that batteries can only qualify to provide a quantity that they can sustain for two consecutive hours. Essentially, a two-hour battery can qualify for up to 100% of its rated power as ECRS in any interval. However, a one-hour battery would only be eligible to provide up to 50% of its rated power as ECRS. However, this is changing…ECRS is transitioning from a 2-hour requirement to a 1-hour requirement. RRS and Regulation are being reduced from 1 hour to 30 minutes. Non-spin remains at 4 hours. Since most batteries in ERCOT are at least one hour in duration, the change in duration requirements for RRS and Regulation has minimal bearing on how much capacity is eligible to qualify to provide each of these services. However, the shift to a 1-hour requirement results in a 29% increase in eligible battery capacity for ECRS. This is because RTC+B shifts ECRS to a 1-hour requirement. A 100 MW / 120 MWh battery that was limited to 60 MW under the 2-hour rule can now offer its full 100 MW. It isn’t actually clear how revenues will be impacted as RTC procures ancillaries in real time. However, according to Modo Energy, using Day-Ahead prices as a proxy, batteries would earn about 14% less (or ~ $66 per MW less) under RTC+B on this high-priced day with this operational profile, assuming all RTC+B awards were made exclusively in the Real-Time Market. The reduced revenues reflect limits from SoC checks and the inability to capture extreme Non-Spin pricing. As ERCOT phases out ORDC scarcity pricing and implements RTC+B, asset owners and operators should expect a new balance of risks and opportunities—reduced reliance on scarcity adders, more precise telemetry requirements, evolving duration thresholds, and real-time procurement dynamics that reshape revenue profiles. While uncertainty remains around long-term impacts, it’s clear that operational flexibility, accurate dispatch data, and strategic bidding will play a larger role than ever in capturing value.

Jan 14, 2025 New Acquisition Opportunity in ERCOT At Camelot, we always try to keep a finger on the pulse of the solar and energy storage M&A market, as many of our clients turn to us for technical and market due diligence on these sorts of engagements. We just had a noteworthy M&A opportunity come across our desk from our friends at Enerdatics and wanted to share this opportunity with our network. It’s for one hybrid (Solar + BESS) project in ERCOT – a region where many folks have had development and acquisition interests. A few details to highlight: Project located in Reeves County (West Hub) Point of Interconnect PV Capacity is 16.1 MWdc and BESS Capacity is 28.2 MWh (Assumed to be a 2-hour battery with an overbuild). It’s designed to participate in ERCOT as a Settlement-Only Distribution Generator (SODG) with Clip Charge and Energy Arbitrage. Solar PV will employ bifacial modules with single-axis tracker and the BESS equipment will use Li-ion technology. Interconnection is planned with Texas New Mexico Powe Company (TNMP), with a 12.47 kV voltage specification, connected to a substation, which is 0.3 miles from project to Point of interconnect. Key milestones such as the completion of Initial Assessment (IA) studies and Phase I ESA have been achieved for both sites. Due to its location, there are no county requirements for environmental permitting. Given the project size, state permitting requirements are also favorable. Lease agreements for 30+ years have been secured Approx. 70 Acres secured, possibly allowing future additional buildout Anticipated COD in Q4 2025. Camelot has recently performed diligence on, and supported the development of, several projects in ERCOT (“TX 10’s”) and we find that revenues can vary widely based on the specific node, though volatility in the region is moderate and favorable to BESS project economics. The DC-coupled configuration is somewhat unique to the market, allowing clipping capture from the solar side, but making market participation more difficult; In ERCOT, regardless of the coupling configuration, the solar and the BESS systems apply for interconnection separately. Camelot also has recent data on CAPEX and OPEX applicable to the region, and can perform a wholistic economic analysis of the projects to verify the seller’s assumptions. Overall, depending on the quality of the development of course, this could be good opportunities in an active market.

Aug 30, 2024 Solar Availability Series Part 3 Welcome back for Part 3 of Camelot’s series on solar availability, which is an appropriately-hot topic as the industry continues to mature. If you’re just joining us for the series, please checkout Part 1 and Part 2 of this series. We’ve set the groundwork with how availabilities are calculated and reported along with the current state of IE assumptions. Today we’ll touch on ways of maximizing availability (minimizing downtime). This topic could be its own series, so we’ll focus on the bigger picture. If you’re curious about Camelot’s stance on availability assumptions as an IE, be on the lookout for future parts in this series. Thank you for joining us! The most impactful sources of downtime come from major component failures such as from inverters, which put entire blocks of a system offline at the same time, although more minor events can still bring smaller portions of the site down. We’ll focus primarily on the most impactful contributors to downtime here. There are two broad, controllable factors which impact availability: The frequency of downtime events , driven by component failure rates and the need for planned maintenance. The quality of the engineering and proactive maintenance is important for this piece; and The duration of downtime events , driven by staffing, readiness of replacements, and other primarily-O&M considerations. Reducing the Frequency and Duration of Downtime Events During Operations Owners and O&M providers and can have a significant impact on both the frequency and duration of downtime events at an operational project once it’s been built. Here are a few recommendations for ensuring success: Follow a Robust O&M Agreement. The O&M agreement should be closely followed during operations, which unfortunately does not always occur. The agreement should be robust and include elements of the items below. More recommendations for O&M agreements are also included in the next section. Predictive Maintenance: Utilize data analytics to predict potential equipment failures before they occur. By analyzing trends and historical data, O&M teams can identify patterns that signal imminent issues, allowing for timely interventions. Sufficient Preventive Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance based on equipment manufacturers' guidelines and site-specific conditions. This includes checking electrical connections and inspecting mechanical systems such as trackers. Of note, energy-based availabilities can be optimized by scheduling maintenance events during periods of expectedly-low production. The time-based availability metric might be the same, but the smaller energy loss means a higher energy-based availability. Spare Parts Management: Maintain a well-stocked inventory of critical spare parts on-site or at a nearby location. This ensures that replacements can be done swiftly without waiting for parts to be ordered and delivered. Follow manufacturer recommended list and review periodically as components may become less available over time. Strong Vendor Relationships: Collaborate closely with equipment manufacturers and vendors to gain access to the latest updates, best practices, and support services. This can also help in negotiating favorable terms for spare parts and service agreements. Third-Party Audits: Engage third-parties to review the performance of the O&M program periodically. External audits can provide fresh insights and identify areas for improvement that internal teams might overlook. Training: conduct regular staff training and testing to ensure readiness for major component failures and extreme weather events. An inverter fire which caused system-wide availabilities to drop for a significant period of time Reducing the Frequency and Duration of Downtime Events During Development O&M activities may be the most visible contributor to a Project’s operational success, but they are not everything. An ace car mechanic can still see more issues with an old, poorly-built junker than a novice will see with a durable, high-end car. Camelot encourages developers to have a mindset of ensuring long-term operational success, which leads to fewer issues and less-impactful downtime. For this, we offer a few broad suggestions: Environmental Impacts: Consider site suitability at an early stage. Evaluate potential environmental risks such as wildlife interference, extreme wind speeds, natural disasters, and erosion which could affect the project’s operation and maintenance. Durable Components : Select robust inverters, transformers, racking systems, and other components designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and have low failure rates. This often means evaluating cost tradeoffs for more expensive components. Exceed Codes and Standards: At a minimum, ensure the project complies with all local, regional, and international standards for safety, performance, and environmental impact. Even more importantly, most EPC agreements only require code compliance, and code is not about longevity of the asset, it is about safety. As such, make sure your EPC Agreement reflects materials, methods, and design standards consistent with the planned (and financed) useful life. Access: Ensure the site has adequate access for maintenance personnel, which can impact the duration of downtime events. Make major equipment accessible near site roadways and ensure roads are wide enough to facilitate easy use of cranes and other heavy kit. Design the site to allow for spacing between components so that specialized equipment isn’t required for access and repair. Remote Monitoring Infrastructure : Deploy advanced SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems to monitor the performance of the solar farm in real-time. This allows for quick identification of issues before they lead to significant downtime. Contract with Reliable O&M providers : Developers will elect to engage with O&M providers during the later stages of development, and should do their due diligence on prospective providers to ensure they will have the right capabilities. The O&M contract should be comprehensive and include elements of the list in the prior section. A few of the most impactful items include: Availability Guarantees: The agreement should include specific availability targets. These targets set clear expectations for how often the solar plant should be operational, and should be tied to incentives to increase the chance of compliance and incentivize high availability. Maintenance Schedules and Protocols , including preventative maintenance schedules, corrective maintenance procedures, and component replacement protocols. Regular Reporting Requirements: The agreement should mandate regular performance reports, including availability, downtime events, maintenance activities, and any corrective actions taken. Transparency in reporting helps project owners monitor O&M effectiveness. For more details on ways of ensuring optimal operations at a solar project, Camelot has released a couple of related articles, including Navigating the Testing and Commissioning Process for Solar Projects , and Tips and Tricks for Procuring PV Modules in 2024 and Beyond . For quick examples of some of the more notable mistakes made in construction/operations which directly lead to lower availabilities, you can follow us on our ongoing Field Failure Series (FFS) .
