Has anyone done the what-if on microgrid infrastructure for Texas? Seems like consumer electricity free markets could behave reasonably even under crisis-constrained supply if you added some of those micro grid resilience features I keep hearing about.

1. BTM (behind the meter battery like Tesla powerwall) 2. Better price prediction 3. Opt-in load shedding 4. Local generator capacity with net-metering (solar, fuel) I’m guessing for < 10k/home you could add enough to both protect against 1-2 day outages and avoid big bills
