Please note that all ESI IDs associated with Abacus will be gained by one or more designated Competitive Retailers (CRs) and therefore no ESI ID will be transitioned to Providers of Last Resort (POLRs).

ERCOT has been working closely with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and affected Market Participants to ensure an efficient and effective transfer of customers to the designated CRs.
