Texas Economy Fueled by Solar & Storage: Grid Roundup #39
The Governor touts solar & storage, sort of; Senate B&C Committee and ERCOT Board both meet tomorrow; PUC Staff calls for comments on DERs and transmission; and more.
In this issue:
The Governor touted that “we increased power by 35%; it’s true, and it’s almost all solar and storage. Specific numbers are below. He also called for “Texas to lead a nuclear power renaissance.”
Senate Business & Commerce and ERCOT Board will meet tomorrow, both will get after-action reports on the recent winter storms and updates on transmission plans.
Attention Distributed Generation Companies: PUC Staff called for Texas Backup Power Package comments.
PUC Staff posted questions about choices for the high voltage transmission buildout known as the Permian Basin Reliability Plan.
PUC meeting last Friday focused on transmission and ERCOT’s very expensive effort to prolong the life of 50+ year old gas plants.
Join me for a live chat during the ERCOT Board meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, February 4 from 10:00 - 11:00a.m. CT.
