Today had 4 hours of power from 8 to 7 pm. I will take that. I read a msg from Oncor a short while ago saying that ERCOT has asked them to cut power again. Sure enough I knew my street would be targeted. Power gone now.
That is what I have a problem with. Same HOA, friends two streets down have had no power loss. Oncor is trying to blame ERCOT. Meanwhile ERCOT says they only ask Oncor to cut power but do not dictate who gets it or not. Oncor is being lazy and repeatedly abusing the same set of houses over and over again with no transparency or explanation on why many are exempt from outages while others are repeatedly targeted. The explanation of some being in a hospital grid also does not ring true. I am actually closer to the school and an intersection road to the Main Street. Friends who have not lost power two streets down are just in the middle of houses and trees in the same HOA. No hospital grid.
I am not saying my friends should lose power. Just asking how is Oncor deciding on who gets selected for an outage vs not? Nothing rolling or fair about these.
