I’ll repeat it here. ERCOT stated yesterday day 16GW of wind generation was down and 30GW of thermal generation (natural gas, coal, & nuclear) was down due to freezing temperatures.
ERCOT has 82GW of total generation. So 44% was knocked out by the cold during a time when demand would be extremely high.
This appears to be a lack of preparation on the part of the power generators and a lack of regulation to force preparation.
