Jeff Billo, a top ERCOT electric grid operator states the case why the Texas grid should be independent, even as a private company works to extend Texas...

A private company has worked on this for 10 year, and it’s hands off for federal regulators.If you’re like me, you wonder why Texas doesn’t bite the bullet and connect to the eastern and western electric grids.

Adam Renz, Pattern’s director of project development, said that “the project will create a valuable connection to diverse energy resources, enhance grid reliability during extreme weather events and provide low-cost clean energy to consumers.”The project is running into major obstacles.

But none of the electricity flow would benefit Louisiana.

The lines would cut through northern Louisiana and into Mississippi. The DC current would be converted into AC.
