I heard that a nuclear power plant has been down the last couple of days. Couple that with all of this heat and you get what you got. Remember ercot just manages the grid

Ercot balday prices are trading $675, next day trading $525. Those are pretty salty levels considering the price cap has been lowered to $2k. market is definitely implying there are some issues. Btw, yday was the third earliest 100 degree day in Houston on record. So clearly the grid not showing the stability we'd hope for, but the weather issues have been anomalous by any standard...

You trying to work through what went wrong, not why. The “why” started off with energy capacity replacement with alternative forms due to political/EPA pressures. What was online couldnt meet output due to environmental issues. Key being what was online.

Its been brewing for years...it will not be fixed anytime soon. Getting investors, permitting of new power plants, acquiring the land, building power lines and pipelines to fuel the plant and deliver the energy....that is a slow process. Given the screwing the government has inflicted on investors in projects like the Keystone pipeline, it going to be had to get companies to invest with no guarantee they will be allow to go into operation. The Keystone pipeline is not the only energy infrastructure project that was fully permitted, then had those permits cancelled after millions or hundreds of millions were spent. My answer:
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Almost had the exact same title as the thread I started on TFF.
ERCOT is having trouble living up to the Reliability part of its name.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

Screw him and his award. We need reliable energy sources and wind/solar isn’t the answer.
