That is an email from ERCOT that I quoted in my post.
And it's a straight fricking lie.
The state's population has expanded faster than new infrastructure has been built and there is little incentive to do much about it b/c power companies prefer a model that makes it easier for them to jack rates up to the Nth degree.

Ah, the old infrastructure trope. Do we need another "build back better" plan to fix it? What about the Inflation Reduction Act? MOAR.
Or how about we build more than one nuke unit over decades? That's permitting, the EPA, your green loonies, and the rest of the federal bureaucracy that prevents plant construction for decades.

yeah that business model is call Economics 101, demand outpaces supply and price goes up until a balance is reached...that and the cost of capital to complete projects has become absurd under current administration.
