@GeorgeIsJeff Yep. Dreaming of back in the day of heat and light in my house.

So… we could be on track to double congestion costs from last year? $4 billion could buy some needed transmission.

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

ERCOT's IMM told the Board today that transmission congestion has cost Texans $2.1b so far this year. That number's going even higher today. See the map below. There's likely a good summertime evening coastal breeze trapped bc there's not enough transmission. #txlege #txenergy

@DavidPomerantz @SimonMahan You’re an exemplary public citizen, Simon. Even the best decision makers don’t have all the expertise. Well done!

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

@douglewinenergy That’s quite a disparity.

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

@MichaelEWebber @TravelproIntl Eagle creek is the best!

Well-maintained power plants still won’t work without fuel. https://t.co/BJsJswtkkO

It has been a very windy day

[Mark R. Stover @atx_markstover]

FYI #txenergy

And currently meeting 56% of demand in Texas

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

@atx_markstover That could be pretty enlightening.

[Joshua D. Rhodes @joshdr83]

The UT-lead report on the impact of Winter Storm Uri on the @ERCOT_ISO grid has been released!

The report was funded by @PUCTX and allowed for a deeper look at what happened than has been previously made public.

Texas Senate B&C want to add ancillary service costs on wind and solar. Renewable energy is already reliable. There is no evidence that increasing amounts of wind power in ERCOT result in any increase in the purchases of ancillary services. What problem does this bill fix?

[Jeff Clark @JeffClarkUSA]

Thank you, @KVUE and @HCavagnaroKVUE for shining a light on the need for data, research, and expertise as we analyze the challenges of last week's #TexasBlackouts and as we design and build a stronger #energy system to ensure they're never repeated. https://t.co/tOouHG5E9H

This is an extreme weather problem. Let's figure out what happened and develop solutions.

[Lyle Larson @RepLyleLarson]

A lot of blame is being cast in every direction. ERCOT and PUC will be dealt with, but the blame game must stop. We in the legislature are culpable and must accept responsibility for millions of Texans going without power. We must make changes to keep this from happening again.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

The main factors: Frozen instruments at natural gas, coal and even nuclear facilities, as well as limited supplies of natural gas. Wind shutdowns accounted for less than 13% of outages. https://t.co/W39pdyvAHD

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

“The performance of #wind and #solar is way down the list among the smaller factors in the disaster that we’re facing," said @cohan_ds. Blaming renewables for the blackouts “is really a red herring.” #txlege #txenergy https://t.co/O9Bgt94e5M

[SPP @SPPorg]

Wind served more of our load in 2020 than any other fuel source. We're the first U.S. RTO to have #wind as our main fuel source. We're able to do this thanks to years of transmission building and a diverse mix of generation resources to ensure reliability in our footprint.

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

Congratulations to SPP, powered by wind!

[SPP @SPPorg]

SPP becomes first regional grid operator with wind as No. 1 annual fuel source, considers electric storage participation in markets, approves 2021 transmission plan. https://t.co/Q3trVM77QL

[American Clean Power (ACP) @USCleanPower]

ACP’s VP of State Affairs Susan Sloan (@swsTX) joins the @UTLawCLE tomorrow for a discussion on the 2021 state legislative sessions in states like #Texas, and the #RenewableEnergy related issues likely to be considered.

Tune in starting at 9:10 am CST. https://t.co/Y11H6aGwOr

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

@RobGramlichDC Looking good. I think I have a picture of / with you two at the 2008 ball. I also think we were talking about transmission back then...

[Susan Williams Sloan @swsTX]

Gov Abbott: Texas has reliable renewable energy, leading in wind, soon in solar
