Ercot does tell them to shed load but not where. That's up to the energy companies. All the blame seems to be put on Ercot which doesn't make sense. Should they get a little blame? Yes. But making them out to be enemy number 1 is not correct. At the end of the day Ercot follows orders and it doesn't matter if people there don't agree with it.

I agree with what you said. There's a lot more that goes into it but overall your statement was solid. However all the blame seems to be put on Ercot which doesn't make sense. Should they get a little blame? Yes. But making them out to be enemy number 1 is not correct. At the end of the day Ercot follows orders and it doesn't matter if people there don't agree with it.
