More than 4 GW of capacity has gone offline in the last few minutes, based on http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_system_condi.... A significant chunk of load was shed as well. Frequency is swinging pretty wildly.

Demand went above capacity just now by 100MW - I assume the “ancillary” is doing something.

Or Texas is now an over unity device.
