"The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (ERCOT) the agency that manages the state's power grid, is forecasting demand of nearly 85,000 MW on Thursday afternoon and evening. The demand forecast dashboard showed a narrowing gap between demand and expected available capacity getting dangerously close after 6 p.m. as solar generation tends to drop off."
So youre telling me Texas already depends somewhat on solar energy? --- SEXY SEXY! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have solar panels and for a place like Texas it really is a no brainer to push on solar energy. Sure the battery capacity is still an issue for now, but as long as theres day light, those produce a shit ton for what little space they occupy. Plus there's the renawable energy part. --- SEXY SEXY! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I always get a kick out of their name. Them having "Reliability" as part of their name is like North Korea having "Democratic" and "Republic" in theirs.

To be fair their grid isn't designed for the cold, its designed for the summer heat.
