Somebody explain the Texas power grid issue. Don't they have high demand on the power grid every summer due to extreme heat? Seems that's even more of a demand than winter heating because A/C requires more electricity than heat (which is done in many households with natural gas). - The Great Awakening

I could be wrong here, but it seems Texas should have the same problem in extreme heat conditions if this was truly about the power grid.

100% this. Here’s the order from the Department of Energy: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2021/02/f82/DOE%20202%28c%29%20Emergency%20Order%20-%20ERCOT%2002.14.2021.pdf Basically makes them throttle the energy output in order to stay inline with “environmental guidelines” or charge $1,500/MWh for going over what is allowed. At least that’s my understanding. But I believe that’s why we’re seeing these ridiculously high electric bills from some Texans.

$1.50/kwH? Good grief. Typical charge rate to customers is between $0.11-$0.60/kwH depending on where you are in the country.
