- bryanlarsen 6y agoThere are (small) interconnects, yet ERCOT is still not federally regulated.
- bcrosby95 6y agoThese are small, and so far the courts have ruled those small interconnects do not open them to federal regulation. There were lawsuits back in the 70s over this. Mess with the status quo too much and that could change. If they want to continue to avoid federal regulation, it's in their best interests to not invest heavily in interconnect.
