It’s a safe bet Bill Magness, CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, may not have that job much longer.
In the wake of last week’s devastating statewide power outages, a bipartisan chorus of state lawmakers led by Gov. Greg Abbott is calling for his firing or resignation as head of the nonprofit that oversees the state electrical grid. Many, including the Republican governor, are calling for the ouster of ERCOT’s entire board for good measure.
But slathering blame for last week’s catastrophic outages solely on ERCOT is both misdirected and coming a decade too late, say critics familiar with the state’s power generating systems.
