The power grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), says pressure on the state’s power grid is in part due to rapid growth in the state.

    Surely it’s the rapid growth and massive profits that are the problem? Not a lack of energy infrastructure planning or regulation.

      Sound’s like they know more blackouts are going to happen and want to spin it early.

        I haven’t paid much attention since I left Texas but they have their hands tied somewhat by the legislation that makes them exist right?
        They can’t force power generation and what not.
