HEB was a circus. It’s like the apocalypse was announced. There’s so much shared PTSD over the ‘21 storms it’s crazy.

Speaking of… any of y’all got that ercot dashboard page still? Not the official one, but the aggregated monitor?

This one?

Don't worry, looks like we're projected to have a whole 5% of additional reserve capacity tonight to cover any unplanned peaks/outages 🤡

Yeah! That’s the one.

Boy I’m glad they approved that “winter storm surcharge” from 2021 so they could make all the necessary updates to the grid, so we’d never have to deal with this again.
