Interesting how the spot market works when supply gets short. This story from Reuters says that on Sunday the spot price for electricity in Texas went to $9,000 per megawatt hour (or $9/kilowatt hour).
We have the opposite issue in California because of the abundance
of solar and wind power, the spot price of electricity actually
goes negative during peak production (windy days in the summer).

They explained on PBS tonight that they are not "rolling blackouts", they are widespread power outages b/c of the ice bringing down power lines.

I dont understand the rolling blackouts. its hot as balls in texas in the summer so youd figure peak demand with all the AC then is well over what it is in the winter. Whats stepping up the winter demand? are you guys mostly electric heat and hot water or something there?
We maybe see some brownout here in peak summer, but winter its never an issue other than storm damage outages because we never learn to harden anything here

My home in Fort Stockton has been out for going on 8 hours now, and TNMP says repair time is 5pm tomorrow.
I'm in Austin, so won't be back out west until the weekend. At least I've got someone looking after the house while I'm gone.

El Paso Electric which serves our area and Southern New Mexico is not part of the other Texas utilities experiencing rolling power outages. Back in 2011 we had power outages and water pipe damage. Both utilities took steps to prove systems with anti-freeze technology and all types of sensors.
We installed several sensors and links for many of these projects years ago.
As of 6:00pm today only 3,000 customers lost power for five minutes.
Hope you guys are safe.
