ERCOT

ERCOT operates the electric grid and wholesale markets for most of Texas, serving 27+ million customers. It is its own interconnection — largely isolated from the Eastern and Western US grids — which keeps it outside FERC jurisdiction and makes Texas policy (the PUCT and the legislature) unusually decisive for how its markets work. 4CP transmission cost allocation is one of those Texas-specific constructs.
