Great read from Doug Lewin. While new solar+batteries will help, Texas remains at risk as winter approaches. "...during Uri, Texas had only about 200 megawatts of energy storage. We now have more than 10,000 megawatts of storage — 50 times more. This additional solar and storage could have eliminated 35-40% of the Uri outages."
Increasing the reliability, resiliency, affordability, and sustainability of energy systems in Texas.
New ERCOT analysis shows 50% chance of rolling outages for Texans during a storm similar to Winter Storm Elliott in December 2022. #txlege #txenergy https://lnkd.in/gRuXdtsX

The thoughts shared below are ones I hear consistently from people. They just want reliability in their energy resources. No matter what is happening outdoors. Looking toward to having conversations with various groups across Our Great State to help make what Base Power Company is doing a possibility for all Texans.
“If anything I’ve learned from [Winter Storm] Uri, from the numerous heat advisories, from the brownouts that we have right here is that Texans just want reliable energy. They want an ability to make sure that they’re able to take care of themselves when it comes to heating or air conditioning and whatever services they have at home, we should be able to provide that.” - Rudy Metayer, Base Customer & Pflugerville City Council Member Read more about Rudy's experience in KXAN's recent feature below.
