@NonPlayableClown @djwfyi ERCOT has a significant of solar and wind. It's just screwed because they cannot pull power from the east or west so under stress and extreme weather events they end up with severe voltage drops and falling out of sync which would never happen if they weren't isolated.
The solar/wind/hydro/nuclear mix of ERCOT *right now* is over 30% of their generating capacity. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, they just cripple themselves with their isolation so they can experiment with a badly managed energy market that scams customers
