Thank you for this alert regarding Texas, Kerry. The day ahead hub average shows prices above $150.00 per MWh between 20:00 and 21:00. Not many "hot spots" on the ERCOT LMP price map at 15:00 CDT. BTW, ERCOT released on April 16, 2025 a very informative study examining their annual trends for inertia. The Spring, 2025 trends shown on the next to the last slide in the slide deck are concerning, as they show significant displacement of CC Natural gas-fired generation by solar during the mid-day https://www.ercot.com/files/docs/2025/04/16/ERCOT_Annual_Inertia_2014-2024_2025_PDCWG_Final.pptx
