ERCOT’s Post

Ever wonder how the ERCOT grid meter works? Check out the video below to learn how you can track Texas grid conditions as we near the hottest months of summer. Reminder: #energyefficiency helps lower demand and keep reserves high. https://lnkd.in/gugxcVW2

Interesting read as Texans head into the upcoming week. ❄ A 400-mile transmission line from Texas across Louisiana and into Mississippi (which would connect ERCOT to the eastern electrical grid in emergencies) is currently in the works. Pattern Energy Group is behind the project, and right-of-way applications are pending. What are your thoughts? #PatternEnergy #TransmissionLine #SouthernSpiritTransmission #ERCOT

Conflicting reports recently about #ERCOT 's ability to meet demand this summer. Certainly, the mildish and wet weather for much of the state is helping. The rains in particular will be beneficial later this summer. Will ERCOT survive without major interruption? Time will tell. If it doesn't, your future electricity costs will be affected. How? Let's chat. #electricity #energyprocurement #naturalgas https://lnkd.in/gQdTJBwY

This is IMPORTANT, this is for the power industry, take a moment to think about the implications of a failure of the power grid for the both of us, once you have internalized the ramifications of a world with no power, you may proceed.

Each of these developments gets us one step closer to meeting clean energy generation demands.

Great overview of what is going on in the HVAC world. Worth a watch to see where the industry is heading in the next few years.

ERCOT Already Issuing Warnings in [checks notes] APRIL??? [Follow me on X at @EnergyAbsurdity] Almost unbelievably, officials at Texas grid manger ERCOT felt the need to put out a warning Monday about a possible shortage of reserve capacity developing on the Texas power grid in the middle of the month of April. I say “almost” unbelievably because, hey, it’s totally believable these days, isn’t it? Of course it is. After all, it was just two years ago, on April 15, 2022, when ERCOT was so short of reserve capacity that it issued a conservation request to power users to limit energy usage during peak afternoon and evening hours. Doing the same thing again this week is just par for the ERCOT course. To be fair to ERCOT officials, they’re just managing the lousy hand they’ve been dealt thanks to more than a decade of neglect by the state’s power generators and regulators. Those parties all received ample warning of the looming crisis on the Texas grid in February 2011, when a severe winter storm forced previous ERCOT management to resort to rolling blackouts to avoid a grid failure. But neither regulators nor legislators nor the big power generations chose to act to ensure grid reliability in the wake of that event. That neglect over a full decade almost resulted in abject catastrophe in February 2021, when the impacts of Winter Storm Uri came within mere minutes of causing a full grid collapse that would have taken months to recover from. #EnergyAbsurdity #Energy #ERCOT #Texasgrid #reservecapacity https://lnkd.in/gvpByrY3

According to TIME Magazine, the average consumer experienced nearly 7.5 hours without power this year, with approximately 5 of those hours due to natural disasters. Here's why Earthvisionz is working with Gridmetrics, Inc. to provide hyper-local power outage alerts for both asset monitoring and damage response when outages occur. https://cablela.bs/4a3ZwBe
