Electric Grid

The grid's independent market monitor has resigned after saying grid operators had "artificially" inflated energy prices.

ERCOT went into emergency operations Wednesday night for the first time since 2021. It's still unclear what caused the power grid to get so close to rolling blackouts so quickly.

To reduce strain on the grid, ERCOT will pay big energy users like manufacturers and bitcoin miners to reduce the power they use. That frees up more electrons for others and keeps supply and demand balanced.

ERCOT said it expected low wind-power generation and high demand to persist through the weekend because of the extreme heat.

The electricity market in Texas is doing exactly what it's designed to do — and most customers probably won't notice any effect on their bill.

The all-Republican court narrowly found that the nonprofit corporation operating the state’s electrical grid qualifies for sovereign immunity, which protects government entities from lawsuits.

The Texas grid will be more reliant on renewables than ever, according to a recent state assessment. Texas regulators don't like that.

The actions by the Public Utility Commission led to billions of dollars of overcharges, the Austin-based court found. It’s not yet clear if the ruling will affect consumers.

Senators want to make renewable energy in the Texas more expensive and put public money toward building more gas power plants.

The blackout continues to haunt those who experienced it.
