ERCOT and Texas Weather

237 views

why this is a clear issue and why it hasn’t been resolved? Texas was doomed last year during the snow and now this year with the heat. I don’t understand. Am I supposed to freeze and get a heat stroke?

You do not fix massive infrastructure problems overnight, it takes many years to set up power plants and related infrastructure even if there is no political BS in the way (and there always is).

In today’s case, the problem is both on the supply and demand side. Demand because there’s a heat wave so air conditioning and other usage is very high, supply because it was predicted to be a very still, low-wind day so power from wind turbines was expected to be way below normal levels.
