It seems fair to describe all the other regional ISOs as being connected in a sense (transitively) whereas ERCOT is not. What is your objection?

What's that standard for "connected"?

ERCOT is connected to Mexico's power grid [0] and other non-ERCOT regions [1].

There is no unified "federal network."
