ERCOT Met Office - Austin, Texas

Spencer G.

Ercot is one of the biggest scams ever
Claiming to be part of a public utility
They use right of imminent domain to steal right of ways across private property. Then they are associated with green energy companies which come in behind them building there solar and wind farms
When truth be known it was all about the money not for the public’s benefit

More money, more money, more money .. ZERO fixes and ZERO accountability. I get text messages from these fools telling me to turn up my AC or turn down my heat. Yet they NEVER show their office AC or heat .. their home AC or heat.

The people running ERCOT are evil, vile and horrible people that do not have the insight or business knowledge to be greeter at WalMart. ERCOT makes Texas less safe; ERCOT brings harm to the citizens of Texas, ERCOT is just politics playing dress up as service for the great state of Texas and the amazing people that live here.

A federal investigation must be done 'yesterday' as to why ERCOT has trouble keeping the lights on for TX residents.

I think giving money to shut down bit coin operators would have been better invested in putting solar panels on every roof possible. With a battery for storage we could have local mini grids. They would help balance the load for the entire grid. We need to invest in people and not corporations.

Every time it gets cold here in Texas they joke about if people think ERCOT will do their job. We all know they won't. But like clock work the coldest day of the year they're asking us to conserve and still grid goes black. Every hottest day the same. We really need a new provider. Not everyone can just hop a plane and go to Mexico soon as the weather changes for the worse.

They ask us to conserve. But you know they run their AC at 65 and leave the lights on.. build more power plants or fight the EPA. Do your job ERCOT

Issuing a weather watch in May when temps are 90 is laughable, if you aren't prepared for 90 what happens when we hit 110? Either fix the grid or connect to the national grid. Who does ERCOT even benefit and why do we pay these board members 6 figure salaries?

Why is ERCOT and PUC so LAME (LowAvailableMentalExpression). Adding 3000MW is NOT going to happen when needed, as this should have been implemented in early 2021, when everyone knew it was a deficit. All the employees at the PUC and ERCOT should be terminated because they are LAME and politically appointed . There are 750 MW/3,000 MWh installations available today, at Moss Landing, for peak reduction, but Texas has none. Austin politicians appoint LAME personnel to ERCOT and cannot even run the regulated AUSTIN grid, much less the deregulated Texas grid. Deregulation of the Texas grid is a failure and didn't lower electric prices or galvanized the grid as promised. Any LAME person can sit in front of the GRID control center and say "Look we need more power generators". The problem is they do NOTHING but talk, even with $60 million in federal funding in their pockets. LAME😬
