To maintain the Texas grid this summer, common sense is required | Opinion
Rows of apartment electrical meters line the wall near downtown Dallas, Wednesday, June 30, 2021. Contributor Robert Hebner writes that there are a lot of possible adjustments to be made to the Texas power grid, but all of them should be pursued with a measure of common sense. The reliability of the Texas grid is hot news this summer after calls for conservation in May sparked worries. Adding heat, the grid is now an issue in the gubernatorial race.
The Public Utility Commission coaches the utilities on how much grid preparation is prudent. The culture of the PUC and the utilities puts major focus on maintaining electric service. But no one knows what will fail in the grid next month or what parts of the grid will be destroyed by storms. Staying dependable in a changing environment is a continuing process, not a single action.
But Texas should be part of larger electricity interconnections only when it makes technical and economic sense.
