I’ll point out that it’s already 50 degrees in Austin today with a projected high of 70. Plus it’s a Sunday, so many businesses are closed. Plus we just had a freak storm that required a lot of 24/7 industrial operations to shut down, and they likely haven’t powered back up yet since the roads were still icy as recently as yesterday. TLDR; demand is now very low, and since the electrical supply has to be matched very closely to demand, this is how ERCOT tells plants that can shut off easily to shut off.
