Meanwhile ERCOT will use Griddy as the scapegoat in all of this.
I find it wildly concerning that ERCOT immediately forced Griddy off the market for failing to pay for its power bills incurred, but other operators are getting more preferential treatment.
I wish America would annex Texas, already.
I live in Texas and just got my electric bill for the month. It was about $75.00. Reasonable since we were without power for 100+ hours. We have a publically owned and financed utility with its own generation facilities. I feel sorry for those in our state who didn't read the fine print on their for-profit contracts and chose floating market rates. Essentially Enron redux...
