State legislators are proposing more changes to Texas's power grid, two years after Winter Storm Uri caused widespread outages. Doug Lewin, president of Stoic Energy, joins FOX 7 Austin's John Krinjak to discuss.
Now state legislators are introducing bills to try and improve the Texas power grid on the heels of weatherization related reforms that were made back in 2021. to discuss the proposed changes.So we know all we all know one of the big problems during URI was a lack of clear communication from ERCOT, from the PUC, about what was going on. I understand there's a bill under consideration now HB 1500 that would actually make changes to how those agencies operate and communicate.
"The Power Grid Reform Package" is aimed to get electric companies to build more power plants that are fueled by natural gas, coal and nuclear energy.So you feel this The sphere of people that can see this map needs to be expanded?Well, at least to include legislators. I don't understand how you can make policy around a reliable grid without understanding what is required to be reliable. That's just it. Just. Yeah.
