I keep reading that AI has driven huge DC growth; which is driving gas resurgence.
I’d expect to see an inflection point in the growth; either now-ish or in the near forecast. And I don’t see that in either total power or in gas.
CA is the wrong state to see that? What’s happening.

You mean “Inertia” within the context of spinning turbines?
Very much looking forward to a long read about multiple cascading system failures. 😀
And, yes, as uncool as it is to say so - it’s been a good recovery job so far. Compare to Heathrow being offline for almost a full day.

Fully agree but “what should happen” and “makes more sense” aren’t such clear concepts to ERCOT 😀
But more seriously, there are still supply chain, planning and grid capacity issues with dropping gas turbine generators near your DC
