I appreciate the nuances, but the need to imply that a profit motive was the issue is not proven. This issue was NOT foreseeable except with the perfect reverse 20/20 vision. It’s like saying that I shouldn’t have built the house where the tornado hit.
My reading of the reason ERCOT were concerned is that it was due to some generation plants being taken offline for maintenance/repairs, as prep work for the upcoming summer, when they came close to running out of juice.
I did not get the impression - from what I've read in the news anyway - that they were caught off-guard, apart from, perhaps, underestimating the forecast.
