Vistra Energy reached out to Governors office "to let them know we had concerns…" We reached out to the Public Utility Commission, Railroad Commission around the "9th and 10th and 11th" of February.
Lots of talk about how much people knew this blackout was coming. Go back and look at tweets from people who follow the grid (including me) by Sunday morning, a lot of people were saying this looks like rolling blackouts (or worse).
What's this? Someone says it. NRG's Gutierrez says we need to prepare for more extreme weather "because of climate change."
The question (made for a soundbite): "who's at fault! The people want to know." NRG's Gutierrez saying it's more complicated than that but then answers power generators, ERCOT, PUCT, transmission suppliers and owners. (maybe missed something, he basically says everybody)
Vistra's Morgan says ERCOT and by extension the Public Utility Commission are responsible, also says gas producers raised prices. Again he names a lot of others. Clearly
Vistra's Morgan On why ERCOT locked down the system in the way it did "Im still trying to figure out what happened."
I think this is Rep. Todd Hunter. Says he'd been in lege for a long time "I've hardly heard from the PUC."
