| 1638629814285512705 | Great piece by @douglewinenergy who knows his stuff. Make no mistake about it, this proposed legislation is a misguided Big Government, Command-and-Control takeover of @ERCOT_ISO's free market principles. These bills are TAXES on the people of Texas. https://t.co/V7HiyTquTM | 2 |
| 1637670549831794689 | Energy storage allows solar operators to dispatch during high-price times. Increasing solar penetration improves the business case for 🔋storage. @ERCOT_ISO is also looking to strengthen dispatchable power capacity post-Winter 🌨️ #solarpower #graphite ↗️ Holding $EGR @EcoGraf https://t.co/ZKuabqRRBo | 2 |

| 1636746002966224896 | JUST IN: (h/t @JessLaw360): TX appeals court reverses @PUCTX orders directing @ERCOT_ISO to max out #electricity prices in the wake Winter Storm Uri. Could have multibillion-dollar implications. | 1 |
| 1637991584665829376 | It was asinine that there was no mechanism to address pricing outcomes in a load shed situation. @ERCOT_ISO ended up putting a very large static number jn the ORDC calculation in order to "peg" prices to $9k per @PUCTX instruction. | 1 |
| 1638578457310294019 | Diana Liebmann of @haynesboone: "With this judgment ... I don't know how @ERCOT_ISO can order units to run in case of an emergency. The takeaway from this opinion is that the @PUCTX doesn't have the authority to ever set prices because it has to be in a competitive market." https://t.co/kOHZluEITj | 1 |
| 1638616534506504193 | Gulf Coast Power Association (@GCPAssociation) named former interim ERCOT (@ERCOT_ISO) CEO Brad Jones as the 2023 recipient of its Pat Wood Power Star Award in recognition of his significant contributions toward the advancement of Texas’ competitive energy markets. ✏️ @tkleckner1 | 1 |
| 1637991596548300804 | Meanwhile, @ERCOT_ISO is building on their reputation as a clueless operator as "conservative operations" have led to massive out of market dispatch and now comically inaccurate load and renewable forecasts. This is not a way to run an ISO and our next crisis will be even worse. | 1 |
