- beerandt 6y agoThat's just false- Texas has at least 5 DC interconnects, to both east and west US grids, as well as Mexico. Edit: Check the last section on their real time status page: http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_system_conditions.html http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_system_condi...
- 0xBDB 6y agoThe other half of what the grandparent said also seems completely completely false. Texas is subject to federal (indeed international) regulation through the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, same as the rest of the U.S. and Canada. I don't fully understand why this is being reported otherwise, though, so maybe I'm missing something. https://www.texasre.org/compliance https://www.texasre.org/compliance
