Ercot has already released actual documentation of the outputs. Wind

up for the 30GW+ estimated being lost from fossil fuels.
I only interject because people are already pointing their fingers at
renewables being the cause here and trying to pawn off the blame to
wind/solar to further their agendas to reduce renewable energy R&D and
adoption. Sure, wind isn’t perfect, but looks like solution relied on
failed in a massive way.
That much generation loss from a wind farm would surprise me.
