ERCOT has been under fire for various reasons since Winter Storm Uri. Now a clearer picture has been painted for the financial impact their decision-making is having on local utility companies.
Forced to purchase several days of replacement power, College Station is reporting paying at inflated Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market-based prices.

COLLEGE STATION, TX â College Station Utilities (CSU) wants its customers to know, while they may be understandably concerned about their upcoming bills, there is no risk of massive rate increases. CSU s rates â electric, water, wastewater, and solid waste â are fixed by ordinance and any change to those rates must be approved by the College Station City Council, which is among the many usual considerations of the councilâs annual budget adoption process that occurs in August. the City of College Station posted on their official website.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS â The power is back on. kinda.
It s been a very tough week for Texans, it started with a deadly 100+ car pileup outside of Fort Worth, followed by chilling temperatures and days of widespread outages felt statewide, but there is a light gleaming at the end of this very dark week.
Both College Station Utilities and Bryan Texas Utilities took to Facebook to spread the good news Thursday. I think it was about midnight last night. ERCOT stopped the rolling outages because they were able to get enough generation online and load had dropped enough that it was no longer necessary, Timothy Crabb, Director of Electric Utility of College Station said.
