    I recognize that failing, but afaiu, it applied to a limited number of customers who “gambled on variable rates”. The political leadership there also shit talks renewables, putting false blame on them for grid failures, but the actual operational environment still permits a lot of renewable expansion: The basis for calling their system the least corrupt.

      So their renewable expansion is so good that it out ways the fact Texas never joined the east or west interconnect?

      That is the biggest corruption, and it is the whole reason their grid is so unreliable. But iteruptions in sevice can be good for the people making money from the sales if these goods. It’s like racketeering.
