From article at zerohedge:
“The brutally cold temperatures also affected wind supply in ERCOT, generation for Feb. 15 was forecast to tumble down 52.5% to 27.8 GWh of generation as cold temperatures impacted wind turbines. DeAnn Walker, chairman of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, said at a meeting on Feb. 11 that there were some “issues with some gas generation plants being curtailed” and that “wind turbines are all frozen,” further placing upward pressure on already sky-high prices. “
Didn’t know freezing was such a problem with turbines. Guess the ones Texas bought weren’t expected to face such cold.
Good luck.
I’m glad the jet stream is keeping the cold blast away from us in the southern Alleghanys!
Thanks 🥶🥶
