"A robust two-sided electricity market with an active demand side solves many problems..." #txlege #txenergy #energytwitter

Treating power demand like supply in wholesale markets could boost grid reliability, lower prices: @EnergySystemsIG@twitter.com https://www.utilitydive.com/news/two-sided-electricity-market-bitcoin-texas-grid-reliability-esgi/651619/ @UtilityDive@twitter.com

This disaster is why #natgas, normally odorless, now smells like rotten eggs. #txlege was in session at the time of this gas explosion that killed 300 kids & passed a bill to require mercaptan be mixed with gas so leaks could be easily smelled. #txenergy cc: @TracesofTexas@twitter.com https://twitter.com/JeremySWallace/status/1637153334632017921

80% carbon free power in ERCOT rn. And prices are zero. You can understand why some owners of coal & gas plants are working hard to punish renewables. But make no mistake, this is good for Texas consumers, the Texas economy, and public health.

The plan power companies want will cost a lot and do very little to increase reliability.

I tried to sum up nearly a full day of discussions at the @PUCTX@twitter.com in 4 minutes w/ @AgustinOnSN1@twitter.com on @TXCapTonight@twitter.com

There are now 70GW of battery storage projects in the #ERCOT interconnection queue, up 40% from one yr ago. Ofc, not all of it will be built but a lot of it will. It will make the grid more reliable, cheaper, and cleaner.

"Over their lifetime, the current fleet of utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects in Texas are estimated to generate $7.2-$8.8 billion in new tax revenue to local communities." 🌞🌬️ #txlege #txenergy https://twitter.com/APowerAlliance/status/1611023832047030272

Wind and solar providing 38% of the power in ERCOT on this cold day #txenergy

@Chron And speaking of what we really need… can y’all try to persuade Doug Lewin to set up shop here on the extinct pachyderm site? Always good to have his insights on the #TXEnergy market during ordinary times, and especially good to have it when the grid hits a stress period.

Ok, here’s my ERCOT poll #energymastodon #txenergy: At 10 AM CST on Friday 12/23 ERCOT will have…

IMM reports congestion costs are $2.6 billion through November. The underinvestment in transmission over the last ten years have real costs, both for energy prices and for reliability. #energytwitter #txenergy

@dsilverman Here’s a link to that thread via nitter.net which as I understand reduces the revenue stream to Twitter for the hits. https://nitter.net/douglewinenergy/status/1604536886852206594 #ercot #txenergy

Exactly. Imagine how insane CA wholesale electric prices would be right now if we didn't have renewables, and had to generate everything from extremely expensive (at the moment) natural gas. The sun and wind are saving us tons of money.

More renewable generation in the mix REDUCES prices because you’re insulated from the global fossil fuel market. This is true everywhere, including Texas. #txenergy #txlege (8/9)
