Yes, you did. Per the comment you replied to:
> As per ERCOT's status page, both of the high-voltage DC ties between Texas are currently operating at >99% of their rated capacity
So as of that comment, either the amount of power available on the other side was equal to >99% of capacity, or it was greater than capacity.
The situation has changed now and neighboring states have had to drop the amount provided to interconnects, but as of the earlier comment, more interconnects would have helped.
Your turn to try again I suppose
