Executive Summary
The first independent board members of the post Uri era, Paul Foster and Carlos Aguilar, were announced last night and took their seats at this morning’s board meeting. The only thing of substance that they did was to approve amendments to ERCOTs bylaws to conform to Senate Bill 2. A more substantive board meeting will be scheduled for later this month.
