The Texas PUC approved without modification ERCOT's request to increase the compensation for the "Selected Director" members of its board of directors

A Selected Director, as defined in the Bylaws, is a Director who is selected in accordance with PURA § 39.1513 -- i.e., a Director selected by the ERCOT board selection committee that must meet the eligibility requirements of PURA §§ 39.151(g)-(g-4), including the absence of a fiduciary duty or assets in the electricity market for the ERCOT region.

ERCOT's Selected Director compensation will now be as follows, effective July 1, 2023 (all amounts are annual):

Component                             Current      New
Selected Director Base Compensation   $87,000   $160,000
Board Chair (added compensation)      $12,800    $35,000
Board Vice Chair (added)               $7,500    $15,000
Board Committee Chair (added)          $5,600    $25,000

ERCOT stated in its request that compensation levels for Directors entitled to be paid for service (at the time, "Independent Directors") were last changed by the Board at its meeting on July 17, 2012. Compensation levels have remained unchanged for almost 11 years, ERCOT said in its request
