ERCOT moves on NOGRR 282, which makes large loads above 75 MW hold their connection through grid disturbances
ERCOT is putting NOGRR 282 into effect, a reliability rule for large computational loads above 75 MW. It requires those loads to keep their grid connection through severe voltage and frequency disturbances rather than dropping offline.
