An electric power unit in the country that Independent Shape Opera and Generator Plants are adequately designed to operate in low temperatures combined with extreme freezing and living in a ‘precedent’ without precedent in Texas … which extends to miles of people by varios días más.
The panorama showing these miracles by Austin’s Alcade, Steve Adler, was as dark as ever. “What he has learned is that we will not recover the generation until the things fall into place. And so we will cover the fires, we will cover the sabbath here in Texas,” he told CNN. “It’s a long stay at the moment and there is no guarantee of an immediate life”, enfatizó.
And, while authorities like Adler have been caught up in a system that “fell” on the Texans, others were asked as he sued.
The Texas Electricity System is unique in the United States only the red opera practically completely on the form of onafhanklike. Desir, in emergencies such as the state of the earth with the fiery tormentor it is impossible to ‘connect’ to a red vecina to incite the hogares and negotiations.
It is in a state where the electricity market is common. Texas is the state that generates more electricity, as it duplicates the one that produces Florida, the second largest United States electric producer. It is also the most widely used, among other things alberga refineries and petrochemical plants, in accordance with data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA in English).
The electricity network is operated by Texas Electric Reliability Board (ERCOT), an organization that collects 90% of the electricity generated in the state and which is not regulated by the federal authorities.
The holiday is recruiting and the situation can get worse
“If we connect more consumers to the electricity system, the energy consumption of the customers is less, this month compared to the other, because it is less free”, said Dan Woodfin, the director senior of the ERCOT operating system. “Sondeverbod, we anticipate that another front will soon be increasing demand”, aggregate.
The directive stipulates that the restoration of the electrical abutment depends on the quantities of plants that can be operated, per no brindo details of when to worry about what is happening to operate on some of them.
About 185 plants are affected by different reasons: if the gas collector is reduced in energy, instruments and, in the Middle Ages, paralyze the eelic turbines, which represent about 10% of the total generation. For now, it’s complicated to determine a specific cause and the situation is very good and there is a set of problems with different sources of electricity generation.
Hasta la mañana de este miércoles, the following system without power generates around 46,000 megavatios, looking at the average of its estimated capacity, of 82,000 megawatts. Of these 46,000 megawatts, 28,000 correspond to thermoelectric plants and the other 18,000 to solar energy and electricity, ERCOT details. The fall was not caused by a collapse in eolica energy production, as it circulated in social networks.
The price of the megavatio is set at $ 9,000
In the midst of the debacle, customers who have electricity are likely to face stratospheric bills. This is because the Texas electricity market also has a different form of function in other cities. The price of the electricity is established in some cases in short space and not with lapses of years as found in other states.
Some companies cover a close amount of $ 10 monthly and then customer access to the most expensive prices. In the midst of an electrical failure, some companies like Griddy – as it were – the reporter to his customers who are looking for another provider when the price kol of $ 9,000 per hour spent in the Houston city, compared to the $ 22 that was habitually spent.
“The actual energy crisis is much greater than what the people have internalized. It is a global crisis, the greatest increase that has taken place in the history of the United States,” said Paul Sankey, an analyst at Sankey Petroleum Industry. Research.
“This situation is recorded in Katrina’s hurricane, which commences with the impact of the cyclone during the end of the week and does not appear to be a big surprise until the market has abraded the moon. The magnitude of the transcursion of a week that was evident in the magnitude of the disaster “, aggregate.
For now, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pleaded guilty to felony criminal mischief for investigating state investigators in the ERCOT case, saying “some people are less confident.” “This is unacceptable, revising ERCOT’s preparations and decisions is an emergence in order to achieve a complete panorama of what this problem is and to bring solutions to the forefront,” he said in a statement.
Y, in order to treat the chaos, the White House is this game that the FEMA Emergency Management Agency send generators to the state and have to send diesel to maintain the operation of some generating plants.
