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.

A special session of the Texas legislature started Thursday. Gov. Greg Abbott called lawmakers back to the Capitol to finish work on some of his priority initiatives and outlined his agenda for the session the day before.
Conspicuously absent from the agenda is anything to do with strengthening the state’s less-than-reliable electric grid, which left millions without power during the catastrophic freeze in February.
Abbott had received calls to include further reforms to the grid in his agenda and is already facing criticism for omitting them. Last month he said that everything that needed to be done was done to fix the power grid in Texas” during the state s legislature s regular session, though he recently ordered the Public Utility Commission of Texas to take steps to overhaul the state’s electric system.
