LOL....are you, or anyone you’re related to, affiliated with ERCOT/PUC?
Asking for several Texans :-)
How about a system where commissioners are ELECTED, rather than appointed, then?
Funny to see Gov Abbott feigning anger....when HE is the one who appointed these PUC commissioners.
Maybe ALL the commissioners should actually live in Texas.
I am not affiliated with either. I have, however, worked in the energy business.
Lumping the PUC with ERCOT is like lumping the SEC with the NYSE.
The PUC regulates and controls ERCOT, but the two have very distinct functions. ERCOT manages the deregulated electricity market. If we abolished it, the PUC would have to regulate the power companies instead. That is what we had 20 years ago.
Do you like to be able to shop for electric providers, or would you like to take what you get and pay what they say?
