ERCOT now showing power reserves of 5,475 MW.

Looking good.

Anyone know if CSU and BTU do variable or fixed rate billing?

Don't know, but think everyone should get a refund on their energy bills this month (and maybe a credit towards their water bills as well).

I may not be reading this right at all but I think CSU are fixed rates:

Funny how ERCOT starts getting loudly shamed and criticized publicly and all of a sudden no more blackouts. It's almost like the top brass started to worry about their jobs

On the contrary, people on variable rate plans are getting billed 20X more than usual due to supply/demand price hikes.

Well, I definitely won't be able to pay $4000 for an electric bill! I doubt most people can. This is one of the things we need help with if state and/or feds want to help.

Pretty sure price gouging is also supposed to be illegal.

I hope you are right they are fixed. If so, my "high" electric rate compared to other power companies is suddenly sounding like a much better deal!

Thanks for the billing heads up. Just checked my BTU account and balance seems "normal."

You can see your current month's usage on BTU? I didn't think they had implemented that.

Castlegate is out of power. Not sure if it's weather related or if somebody hit a utility pole?

I'm going to use that next time we work together and I need to throw him under the bus.

"Yeah coach I have no clue what he just called. He's really just a coach like you and doesn't know any more than you do. Now excuse me while I go clean up his mess."

I would like to hope that we may see some meaningful changes with respect to power generation, but a lifetime in Texas leads me to believe that after all is said and done we'll go back to things as they have been.
