Hauv cov lus piav qhia ntawm kev tswj xyuas kab hluav taws xob tsis zoo, qhov kev txiav txim siab khaws tus nqi muag khoom rau hluav taws xob ntawm ERCOT kev ua lag luam ntawm $ 9,000 ib megawatt-teev - thiab cia nws nyob ntawd rau peb hnub ntev dua li qhov xav tau - thaum lub sijhawm hluav taws xob hluav taws xob tau tsoo Texas ib xyoos dhau los. , yuav nqis mus ua ib qho phem tshaj.

Leej twg tau txiav txim siab? Hauv kev ua pov thawj hauv tsoomfwv lub tsev hais plaub poob nyiaj hauv Houston, yav dhau los ERCOT CEO Bill Magness tau taw tes rau Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Cov lus pov thawj tau ua nyob rau hauv qhov kev sim ua lag luam ntawm Waco-based Brazos Electric Cooperative, uas nyuaj rau $ 1.9 nphom hauv cov nqi uas nws tshwm sim thaum muaj kev kub ntxhov uas yuam nws mus rau Tshooj 11.

Magness cov lus pov thawj yog muab gigawatts ntawm mos txwv rau Beto O'Rourke, uas yuav yog Democratic xaiv tsa rau tus tswv xeev cov haiv neeg thaum lub Kaum Ib Hlis. O'Rourke tau ua qhov tsis ua tiav ntawm Texas daim phiaj ua lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm kev sib tw. Magness cov lus pov thawj tseem yuav txhawb nqa cov lus hais tias ERCOT (thiab/lossis Public Utility Commission) tswj tsis tau daim phiaj hluav taws xob thiab yog li cov nqi uas tshwm sim los ntawm Brazos thiab lwm cov chaw muab hluav taws xob thaum muaj teeb meem, tsis raug cai thiab yuav tsum tau thim rov qab.

Nyob rau hauv ib tsab xov xwm luam tawm nag hmo, James Osborne, tus neeg sau xov xwm ntawm lub Houston Chronicle, tau sau tias thaum nws ua tim khawv, Magness tau hais tias yav dhau los Public Utility Commission Chair DeAnn Walker, uas tau raug xaiv los ua haujlwm hauv 2017 los ntawm Abbott, "tau tuaj rau ERCOT lub chaw ua haujlwm hauv nruab nrab ntawm kev kub ntxhov thiab xa mus rau nws Abbott qhov kev thov uas tig. blackouts los txog rau qhov kawg," thiab hais tias "Abbott xav kom lawv ua txhua yam tsim nyog los tiv thaiv kev hloov pauv ntxiv uas ua rau ntau lab tus Texans tsis muaj zog." Osborne kuj tau hais txog tsab ntawv tshaj tawm xyoo tas los los ntawm tus kws tshaj lij rau tus tswv xeev, uas tau hais tias Abbott tsis "koom nrog txhua txoj hauv kev" hauv kev txiav txim siab khaws tus nqi ntawm $ 9,000 qib.

Tsis ntev tom qab Magness cov lus tim khawv, O'Rourke tau tshaj tawm tsab ntawv tshaj tawm hais tias Abbott muaj, "ib zaug ntxiv cov txiaj ntsig ntawm nws cov neeg pub dawb rau cov neeg hauv lub xeev no…Abbott screwed peb, thiab nws yuav txuas ntxiv rau peb mus txog thaum peb pov npav nws tawm. ”

Raws li kuv tau tshaj tawm hauv cov nplooj ntawv no lub Rau Hli dhau los, kev tshawb fawb los ntawm London Economics International pom tias ERCOT khaws nws $ 9,000 ib megawatt-teev nqi nyob rau hauv qhov chaw ntev heev. Txoj kev tshawb no, uas tau them los ntawm Vistra Corp., yog ib lub xeev lub tshuab hluav taws xob loj tshaj plaws, tau txiav txim siab tias tus nqi muag khoom yog $ 6,578 ib megawatt-teev siab dhau lawm thiab nws nyob siab dhau li ntawm 80 teev. Tsis tas li ntawd, ua kom tus nqi ntawm $ 9,000 tsis tau nqa hluav taws xob ntxiv rau hauv kab hluav taws xob, ib qho taw qhia uas Magness tau ua thaum lub sijhawm ERCOT "kev sib tham ceev ntawm pawg thawj coj saib xyuas" thaum Lub Ob Hlis 24, 2021. Txawm hais tias LEI tsab ntawv ceeb toom tsis tau muab tag nrho cov nqi kwv yees, Cov neeg siv khoom zoo li yuav tau them ntau dua los ntawm qee qhov $ 26.3 nphom.

Nyuam qhuav pib hnub no, Walker tau nyob ntawm qhov muag. Nws tau lees paub qee qhov ntawm Magness cov lus pov thawj, hais tias tus tswv xeev tau hais kom nws mus rau ERCOT lub hauv paus chaw haujlwm hauv Taylor thiab "xav txog ib txoj hauv kev kom tau txais lub zog rov qab rau txhua tus neeg siv khoom thiab tsis txhob rov qab mus rau qhov kev tawm tsam." Nug vim li cas tus nqi khaws cia ntawm $ 9,000 txawm tias nws tsis nyiam cov neeg tshiab rau hauv daim phiaj, nws hais tias nws yog "kev txiav txim siab ywj pheej kuv tau ua." Nyob rau hauv ib tsab xov xwm tshaj tawm ob peb teev dhau los, Osborne tau sau tias Walker "tau tawm tsam kom nco qab cov ntsiab lus ntawm kev tsaus ntuj ntawm ntau lub sijhawm thaum nws ua tim khawv" thiab nws tau cem los ntawm US Tus Kws Txiav Txim Nyiaj Txiag David Jones, uas tau hais tias, "Kuv poob siab rau koj tus cwj pwm. thiab koj qhov kev tsis lees paub tag kis no. "

O'Rourke sai sai blasted Abbott dua. Nws tau tshaj tawm cov lus hauv Twitter hais tias tus tswv xeev, "hais kom lawv jack nce tus nqi ntawm lub hwj chim raws li Texans khov hauv lawv lub tsev. " 

Cov lus tim khawv los ntawm Magness thiab Walker tau tshwm sim nyob rau tib lub sijhawm uas qee lub tuam txhab hluav taws xob hauv Texas tau txais cov nuj nqis uas lawv tau tshwm sim thaum muaj kev kub ntxhov. Raws li Llewelyn King tau tshaj tawm nyob rau hauv cov nplooj ntawv no lub lim tiam dhau los, Rayburn Lub Tebchaws Hluav Taws Xob Cooperative "kaw ntawm Texas thawj qhov kev sib koom ua lag luam kev ruaj ntseg, tshwm sim tawm ntawm Lub Caij Nplooj Ntoos Hlav Uri." Lub coop yuav them tawm $ 908 lab daim ntawv cog lus (kev ua haujlwm raug cai tau ua los ntawm Clinton Vince, tus thawj coj ntawm Teb Chaws Asmeskas kev siv zog ntawm Dentons) los ntawm kev ntxiv cov nqi ntxiv rau nws cov tswv cuab cov nqi txhua hli mus txog xyoo 2049. Tab sis raws li King kuj tau piav qhia, Rayburn "reserves the muaj cai foob thiab ua tau li ntawd. " 

O'Rourke thiab lwm tus neeg thuam tau thov tias Abbott tau txiav txim siab kom tus nqi siab los pab nws cov neeg pub nyiaj. Tab sis puas yog qhov kev txiav txim siab khaws tus nqi ntawm $ 9,000 ib megawatt-teev kev koom ua ke, lossis tsis muaj peev xwm? 

Tsis muaj cov lus teb meej rau cov lus nug no, tsawg kawg, tseem tsis tau. Tab sis cov lus tim khawv los ntawm Magness thiab Walker tau ntxiv ntau qhov kev xav rau kev sib ntaus sib tua raws li txoj cai ntawm leej twg yuav liam rau Texas hluav taws xob teeb meem, thiab tau kawg, leej twg yuav xaus rau them nqi. So assured ho, ib txoj kev los yog lwm qhov, nws yuav yog tus nqi them.
