Starting to wish none of my UTEs did business in TX. This isn't going to end soon enough. They have at least three major power sources in the state, and nothing but drama because they can't get it right.
You'd think policy makers would learn after seeing problems with too many renewables in Germany and then in California. But they just keep on forcing them onto the grid, making things unstable for the overall system. I figured it would take longer than this to have an impact on Texas, but here we are.
This summer could be quite interesting times for people living there...
