For the past few weeks, it’s been a nearly everyday ask from ERCOT and relayed via AE.

Does anybody know if these voluntary energy reductions have any impact? The TX grid is managed so horribly. Fuck PUC.

You know what would have an impact?

Improving grid capacity so that excess wind and soar could be utilized during heat waves.

Incentivizing solar panel installation further by offering better rebates and paying more for energy that’s sent back to the grid.
