a graph provided on ERCOT's websiteThe graph also shows a"Quick Start" capacity of 67,869 MW, meaning extra generating units can come on-line within 10 minutes of receiving ERCOT notice.
Those"Quick Start" units could provide an additional 2,300 MW, if those units are requested to come on-line by ERCOT. As the graph progresses through the night, in the 10 p.m. hour, there is expected to only be 1,365 MW left between the supply and demand, without any"Quick Start" units. The notice issued by ERCOT stated,"To ensure all possible generation is available to serve system demand, ERCOT has requested that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality exercise its enforcement discretion with respect to generator exceedances of TCEQ air permit limitations."
While the notice is in place, power providers will more likely get forgiveness for environmental issues.
