OTC Global Holdings' Senior VP and Lead Analyst Campbell Faulkner commented to S&P Global and Reuters on Vistra Corp.'s plan to add additional gas-fueled power capacity in Texas: "This is a positive announcement for much-needed dispatchable megawatts in ERCOT. Where this is difficult to suss out is the profitability that Vistra Corp. foresees and their view of the long-term viability of these projects. I hope that they are not the only ones who view gas-fired units as profitable for the years to come. That is especially the case given the projected load growth that ERCOT sees over the next few years. Even if the load does not meet the expected profile, there is still a meaningful shortage of dispatchable thermal units necessary for heavy load times of the year." https://lnkd.in/gGNxHHEW 📷 Creator: Dronebase Dronebase | Credit: REUTERS
