The ERCOT Board will hear today that solar and storage "made the summer uneventful." Of course, uneventful is good. "Events," in grid parlance, are usually major problems.
And there are a record 6 gigawatts of new resources coming in Q1. #txlege #txenergy 1/

Although Texas produces the most energy of any state, many of its residents have a hard time affording their monthly electric bills. @dallasobserver.com discusses this unfortunate dichotomy in a recent piece. Read more: ow.ly/YxS350VkgPF #txenergy #txlege #energysky
Texas Is Top Energy Producer, But Many Texans Can't Afford Power
A proposed commission could oversee the functions of the state power grid as Texans struggle to pay its bills.

Another day, another unconstitutional attack on clean energy by the #TXlege. But this one, you can help stop.
#HB4049 would make it illegal in TX for a company to comply with EU and California climate disclosure laws.
It is anti-climate and also very bad for businesses.
Call script in 🧵.

‘Shoulder season’ reliability a growing concern in ERCOT, other ISOs: Aurora Energy Research
Batteries, gas peaker plants and data centers will provide critical system flexibility by 2030 as load growth, aging infrastructure and weather volatility increase planning uncertainty, Aurora said.

My latest: From Arizona to Texas, an anti-renewables fever is gripping GOP state legislatures as the industry grows, and several states appear on the cusp of significantly restricting solar or wind development as soon as this year.

The PUC is meeting now. I'll leave some thoughts here, particularly as they discuss the capacity market structure known as the PCM. I wrote about that, and the move to turn a new backup reserve into a capacity market here. #txlege #txenergy www.douglewin.com/p/pcm-likely...
PCM Likely to Be Shelved Tomorrow, Grid Roundup #36
Chair Gleeson files memo expressing his hope the PUC will officially move away from the capacity market construct known as PCM. DRRS will be the next front in the ongoing capacity market battles.
