  6. Causes of Local Congestion • Congestion is caused by a mismatch of load and generation in a local area (sometimes referred to as a “load pocket” or a “generation pocket”) that exceeds the transmission transfer capability to/from that area. • ERCOT gathers congestion data based on which generator was paid and, until recently, has not collected this information for each transmission constraint.
