ERCOT

Thanksgiving week is here and that means it is time for the holiday season! We'll soon be hearing Christmas music on the radio and songs like "White Christmas"

Buc-ee's CEO, "Beaver" Aplin has been appointed by the governor to a state committee which will select ERCOT's new board of directors

A PUC report says there was $16 billion in ERCOT overcharges during February's deadly winter storm. The legislature is now prepared to step in and pass bills to correct the problem

Lyntegar Electric Co-op, South Plains Electric Co-op, and AEP Texas have had to implement rolling blackouts at ERCOT's directive. Both ERCOT and SPP are urging people to conserve electricity over the next two days

Just before 9am Saturday, ERCOT's reserve electrical capacity was just 89 megawatts. ERCOT electricity usage may set a winter record this weekend due to a 5-day long stretch of extremely low temps across the state.

Weekend low temperatures in the single digits, and in some cases below zero, are expected to contribute to record high electricity use in parts of Texas. Especially in the part of West Texas that is served by ERCOT.
