Thanks for compiling and sharing this info! I'm not sure a state-level point of view to this problems is the right way to view this problem. Except Texas I guess because it has ercot all to itself. Most big electric producer(eg, calpine) cover large multi-state regions and the interconnect systems tie together many states. Of course there's transmission losses, but otherwise I think a "regional" resource-based perspective with trading/sharing is more appropriate. Then you can pool and distribute based on what's most efficient and cost-effective, letting markets dictate prices. I suppose this is not exclusive of looking at the state level, considering states have vested interest and often fund large projects.
