#ERCOT would get "Kill Switch" for large consumers in bill

When I say outage I mean, down for 1 second then back up. At least once it browned out then came back.

I have my core network gear and one wifi AP on a UPS that can provide me about 90 minutes of uptime. Long enough for me to fire up the generator. That one had its batteries replaced with LiFePo4 batts and is proving its worth. I just had to buy a second UPS because I can't be working in the middle of the day and have this happen during a meeting or other critical work.

The fact that this is becoming a regular occurrence makes me wonder what's going on with the grid. It is very possible this is isolated to my area but if others in #ercot controlled #texas has a similar experience, I'm very curious.

CenterPoint Energy has reached a deal with the state of Texas to absorb the cost of the 15 large, mobile generators it leased, valued at roughly $880 million. The move follows months of intense criticism and negotiation with lawmakers.

Wonder why wind, storage & other climate techs matter in the current climate?

Here's a live view of Texas's electricity mix: wind tops the list, energy storage plays a key role. The second biggest source: solar. (There's a CKI deep-dive for solar, too.)

Wind, solar & batteries don't dominate Texas's grid because of state-level policies & regulations. Quite the opposite.

Houston-based NRG Energy has announced a venture to build four new natural gas power plants in the U.S. to power artificial intelligence data centers, with some slated for Texas.

Overnight temperatures in Houston are forecasted to be in the low 30s on Wednesday and Thursday, while outlying areas could see temps dip into the mid-20s as much of Texas prepares for what could be the last major cold front of the winter season.

Speaking of cold weather, has anybody checked in on #ERCOT lately?

Oh good, well at least *that* isn't falling down. Yet.

@ai6yr Keeping a very close eye on this.

We're expecting close to 4 inches of snow in the next 72 hours and it could very well stick.

Testing my generator out today and we have other heating options.

I'm really worried about rolling blackouts or worse because #ercot cannot be trusted.
