WFAA-TV out of Dallas reported on May 6th in video coverage that ERCOT asked power generators to postpone planned maintenance in order ensure the power grid can meet demand. KXAS-TV Dallas reported ERCOT “tells NBC 5 it issued an Advanced Action Notice (AAN) asking power plant owners and generators to postpone planned maintenance and to return from maintenance already in progress.” In another statement, Rickerson said, “Generators and transmission owners have worked with us to reschedule maintenance outages. Those changes, along with a slight drop in forecasted temperatures, have given us sufficient reserves.” Rickerson added, “With unseasonably warm weather in the forecast, we will continue to monitor conditions so we can reliably operate the grid.”
Folks it is only the first week of May. You can blow it off but it will not get better in August and September. Maybe nothing happens and that will be good but the government definitely has us in a bad way on generation capacity in the State of Texas.
Per what folks on here have already said ERCOT asked them to reschedule plant maintenance at the Generation Plants because of the warmer than normal temperatures. I do not remember this ever happing in May in past summers? Maybe someone else knows?
