2021-10-27
Umbiko we-WFAA uveze ukuthi kusukela ngoLwesithathu ekuseni, abasebenza ngegridi bebeqaphe ngeso lokhozi ukuhlinzekwa kanye nesidingo segridi yombuso. Uma ufana nami, ungacabanga ukuthi "Yini isihogo lesi?" Isimo sezulu lapha besisihle kakhulu muva nje. Ngakho-ke, bangabhekana kanjani nenkinga yokucindezela kwegridi ngokweqile? Inkinga yukuthi ekwindla efudumele nasentwasahlobo, i-ERCOT izokhipha izitshalo kugridi ukuze zigcinwe, okuholela ekunciphiseni kokunikezwa. Nakuba isimo sezulu besisihle kakhulu, besishisa ngaphezu kokujwayelekile, ngakho isidingo besiphezulu kancane kunobekulindelekile, okuholele ekwehleni kwentengo yokuvala izolo. Izolo, kubikezelwe ukuthi isidingo samandla eTexas sizodlula ukunikezwa. Nokho, i-ERCOT ikholelwa ukuthi asikho isidingo sokukhipha izexwayiso zokuvikela umphakathi. Ngokuqondakalayo, lapho sizwa ukuthi i-ERCOT yayinezinkinga zokuhlinzeka ngemva kokunqanyulwa kukagesi okubulalayo phakathi nesiphepho esibi sasebusika okwakudingeka sibekezelele ngoFebhuwari ngonyaka odlule, ama-Texans amaningi ayezozizwa ethukile, okuqondakalayo. Nokho, u-opharetha wegridi uhambise "imephu yomgwaqo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuthembeka kwegridi" kuMbusi u-Greg Abbott ngoJulayi. USihlalo we-PUC kanye nelungu lebhodi le-ERCOT u-Peter Lake uthe bahamba ngenkuthalo kugridi ethembeke kakhudlwana: Umdwebo womgwaqo we-ERCOT ugxile ngokusobala ekuvikeleni amakhasimende kuyilapho uqinisekisa ukuthi i-Texas igcina izikhuthazo zemakethe yamahhala ukuze ilethe isizukulwane esisha kuhulumeni. I-Texans ifanelwe igridi yamandla ethembeke kakhulu, futhi sisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuze siyenze ibe ngokoqobo.
