ERCOT Shuts Gritty Energy’s Access over Unpaid Bills

Griddy Energy LLC is a Texas retail electricity provider that sold consumers electricity at wholesale rates. A rare event occurred in which
prices rose to US$ 9,000 per megawatt hour as the cold front marched in to freeze Texas. Griddy Energy faced serious heat after customers got insanely-high power bills during the cold front storm in Texas.
Griddy Energy, which operates in the retail energy market, was barred from participating in the state’s power market on February 26, 2021.
