AUSTIN — The manager of Texas’ power grid took steps Wednesday to prepare for the onslaught of a frigid cold front that will have many parts of Texas below freezing for more than 48 hours.
ERCOT stopped short of issuing any calls for Texans to reduce their use of electricity, instead appearing to use market and regulatory measures to help encourage increased production. ERCOT interim CEO Brad Jones announced the action during a media briefing with the numerous agencies involved with the state’s coordinated response to the freeze. TCEQ granted the request and indicated that any power plants that anticipate emissions in excess of their permitted amounts will be required to notify the agency.
Peter Lake, the chairman of ERCOT’s oversight agency, the Public Utility Commission, also reiterated assurances that the grid has been hardened in the past several months. Lake cited changes to the market’s structure, weatherization standards and new incentives for on-site alternate fuels all designed to make Texas power grid more reliable in winter weather events akin to the cold front that will lash the majority of Texas.
