ERCOT grid power alert

 This afternoon, July 11, we are at risk of having insufficient electric power.  Due to heat peak of around 110 deg.  I wonder if Bluebonnet will take my power contributions in consideration when they decide how to do rolling blackouts?  I doubt it.

In the winter of 2020-2021, I was subject to rolling blackouts.  It did not make much difference since PV production was low due both to cloud cover and snow cover of panels.

This time of year, I produce up to about 900 kwh/day; that can be enough to power up to about 20 of my neighbors.  Cutting me off the grid would only worsen things.
