@Tesla Since #winterstormUri , @ERCOT_ISO has been spending more and more money getting new reliability services from power plants. One of these is a contingency reserve they can activate in 30 seconds called #ECRS . The service was launched last year, and so far ERCOT has paid out

This is exactly right. We have the technologies and we have the capital to decarbonize our grid reliably and affordably. Our barrier is a regulatory structure that prioritizes incumbents over energy consumers.

@Tesla @ERCOT_ISO ERCOT power generators make most of their revenue from selling ancillary services, not just electricity. Ancillary services ensure the stability, reliability, and quality of the electric grid. These include regulating reserves, non-spinning reserves, and responsive reserves.

@Tesla_Megapack too! Batteries at C&I sites (commercial and industrial that can shift load from grid consumption) and grid-connected sites (direct injection to the high voltage transmission grid) support @ERCOT_ISO during surprises like #TexasEclipse2024 #txeclipse #txenergy

If you haven't noticed already, I'm also a lawyer, and would like lots of other lawyers to hop out of their relatively boring current professions and join the energy regulation field: draft standards, catch dumb federal and state Constitutional issues that can be avoided

@sobieski902 @WholeMarsBlog Yes. Literally clueless. I think my mom has a better idea of this fact- the insane pace of our innovation on software and hardware side- than most analysts: and that's just through osmosis of knowing dozens of @Tesla product owners in her community.

@Tesla @ERCOT_ISO #ancillaryservices prevent outages. #Powerwall customers, even a group of a couple hundred of them in a #VPP program like #TeslaElectric , are part of the outage prevention solution. #ECRS provides an additional reserve of power that can be quickly activated when needed.

@xiaowang1984 Wouldn't it be cool if @ERCOT_ISO had spent all of its time modeling this scenario and proposiing a PV speciifc standard that builds DIRECTLY on the findings and mitigations implemented in the #Odessa report? Hell yeah. Well, since they spent all their time on this other, um,

In short: getting inverter-based resource standards implemented robustly, like #IEEE2800 is a priority; making sure critical validations occur irrespective of who the interconnecting utility or grid operator is, is a priority. Allowing critical standards to quickly get

Retroactive rules could force #Texasgrid inverters to be shut down in the field for physical hardware updates while they're busy supporting the grid every day, keeping consumer prices down, and doing what they're supposed to do. That's what tomorrow's @ERCOT_ISO #TAC dicussion
