Anyone lose power today?

They used the reduced power measure, to see who is compliant.

I dont think that was a rolling blackout, likely just a localized issue. ERCOT handled today pretty smoothly. Balday prices were expected to explode at one point, trading up to $800. Ended up trading down to $165 per mw. The new CEO of ERCOT is extremely competent, not one of these bureaucrats thats never had skin in the game.

After Snowvid ERCOT and competent don’t belong in the same sentence. Just another bunch of political parasites.

Yeppers.

Learned that all the way back to Rita/Katrina, just in case.

That and a nat gas gen set that will run it and everythig else in the house minus the main HVAC unit. Backed into the load center on the house.

Along with a case of 30 weight oil for said gen

My son's a lineman. The heat is popping transformers left and right.

This right here. Transformers are the issue right now. Even worse, the ones that they are replacing them with are junk and blowing not long after replacement.

My mom has had a few planned blackouts so far this summer. Usually the hottest part of the day. 1pm-7pm. Probably gonna be a regular occurrence during the peak demand.

We had a transformer blow and our meter loop caught on fire this weekend at our business. Got that call around 9 pm on Friday and spent all weekend chasing down parts to rebuild meter panel had to run all new wire. It was a pain in the *** and expensive!
