@JesseJenkins @ERCOT_ISO spokesman says 34 GW went offline. "Majority" were thermal—#gas, #coal, #nuclear. "We don't know exactly why, but ... we'll figure out why that happened."
@JesseJenkins @ERCOT_ISO I'm awaiting @ERCOT_ISO clarification on precisely which generators/capacity went out or are still out, and how #wind and #solar capacity is factored into or compared as basis of total outage. 34 GW is a lot—ERCOT total installed capacity at 2020-end was ~77.2 GW.
@ERCOT_ISO @ERCOT_ISO: "Most of those generators that went offline ... last night, were either—there a few additional wind generators that went offline during the night—but the majority of them were thermal generators, like generation fueled by gas, coal, or nuclear"
