The PUC forced ERCOT to fake the pricing. That should never have happened. It was faked for 90 hours.
In the last hours, the price per Megawatt hour was well under $1.00. Abbott forced the price to read “$9,000.00” and then refused to adjust after the fact, as the PUC is supposed to do.
There were no true real time prices for 90 hours.
“The PUC forced ERCOT to fake the pricing.”
Then the PUC and should not exist, and consumers should read their contracts with utilities.
