Texas regulators deny complaint about extreme power pricing based on false data

摘要

A $8,964/MWh jump in real-time prices in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas in May 2019 caused by a generator submitting incorrect information will not be corrected, as requested by a power trader, state regulators ordered Sept. 10, because ERCOT's actions were "not inconsistent" with its rules. "I recognize that nobody likes price spikes for non-market reasons, but I do think in this case that ERCOT applied the protocols correctly," said Shelly Botkin, one of three members of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, at the beginning of the discussion of Project No. 49673, "Complaint of Aspire Commodities against the Electric Reliability Council of Texas."
