An error at ERCOT went undetected for a significant period. This mistake had a notable impact on the Texas power grid. The grid operator's failure to properly review its work led to the issue.
As a result, the amount of reserve power purchased was less than recommended. Further information about this error and its effects can be found through the Waco Tribune-Herald, which reported on the incident in Austin.
