It is my understanding that they approved the increased output providing that it didn’t violate pollution standards. I will have to do some more research.

according to U.S. Energy documents. The request was granted, but included a warning that ERCOT not exceed the amount of generation absolutely needed to restore power and keep Texas homes warm
I mean it’s shitty to add that part but it was probably written by a-hole lawyers. .

Did you even bother to read what the "release" granted? The so called release actually states that ERCOT must first expand all other resources to import power at a base price no lower than $1,500 per megawatt hour. - So the DOE said yes you can run the plants harder, but only AFTER you buy all the super expensive electricity that can be supplied to you. The DOE did not release the increase output the way it is being portrayed but then again, good leftist lap dogs such as you will stick to the talking point that release was requested and granted the same day.
Edit: At least now we know why people on spot pricing bills have skyrocketed. The DOE forced it on them.
Who runs the DOE again?

Moreover, the order instructed an “incremental amount of restricted capacity” to be sold to ERCOT at “a price no lower than $1,500/MWh,” an increase of over 6,000 percent over February 2020 prices of $18.20.

If I am Governor of Texas I tell them Go To Hell, go on statewide TV let them know all about this, and do what I have to do.
Let them try and sue me.
Let them try and sue me.

The order shows Acting Energy Secretary David Huizenga did not waive environmental restrictions to allow for maximum energy output, instead ordering ERCOT to utilize all resources in order to stay within acceptable emissions standards – including purchasing energy from outside the state.
