ERCOT report confirms gas- and coal-fired plant outages played big role in June grid woes Morgan O Hanlon, The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN New data from ERCOT confirms that issues with thermal energy sources, including coal and natural gas, were largely responsible for the smaller-than-expected generation capacity on the grid that led to supply concerns in June.
Information about which power plants had unplanned outages in June, rattling public confidence in the Texas power grid, was released Wednesday by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. There were more than 1,200 unplanned outages at generation facilities during the month, including 224 June 14-18, when the grid operator urged Texans to conserve energy because of higher demand and less available power than expected.
