By pv magazine USATexas has a unique electrical grid. The grid management organization, ERCOT, is independent of other states and deregulated, making the state open to business for a market-based approach to energy generation and transmission. Texel has was a favorite among developers of utility-scale solar PV for a long time, thanks to the business-friendly environment and the lack of substantial local licensing regimes. The state also serves as a testing ground for the development of a more emerging industry: VPPs. VPPs are defined by their distributed and connected nature. Instead of sending power over long distances from a centralized…
