ERCOT warns Texas growth will substantially increase demand on power grid
The power grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), says pressure on the state’s power grid is in part due to rapid growth in the state.
You're viewing a single thread.
Surely it's the rapid growth and massive profits that are the problem? Not a lack of energy infrastructure planning or regulation.
Sound's like they know more blackouts are going to happen and want to spin it early.
They said like a week ago that we are gonna have rolling blackouts in August.
They said we could have rolling blackouts
I haven't paid much attention since I left Texas but they have their hands tied somewhat by the legislation that makes them exist right?
They can't force power generation and what not.
I don't know if you saw my comment, but yes. ERCOT has to answer to the PUCT and Texas Congress. It's a pain in the ass to get anything done and worse if they have to contract out, which is the case a lot of the time.
We've tried doing nothing, and we're all out of ideas.
Yes it's the EVs /s
all those windmills and solar panels relentlessly pouring juice into their third world distribution system is fucking up their coal burning plans
