ERCOT Large Computational Load (LCL) threshold: sites of at least 75 MW aggregate peak demand where at least 50% is power-electronic computational load (NOGRR 282 / NPRR 1308)

≥75 MW / ≥50%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeApplies to non-exempt LCLs. Loads operating, or with ERCOT energization approval, on or before 2025-11-14 are grandfathered. Other exemption routes depend on the agreement, construction authorization, funding and study or attestation conditions in Operating Guides §2.15(1), and a qualifying later modification removes the exemption.
