Welcome back to The Pexapark Podcast! In this episode, before we go deep into the dynamics of the Texas energy market, we start with a edit of key developments in European renewables. Topics include early takeaways from the Spanish blackout, the latest from Italy’s MACSE auction and possible strategy decisions by players, and Germany’s proposes bidding zone split. We also dive into the increasingly notable trend of rising balancing costs, the price divergence in the Nordics and more.

In the second part of the episode, Ian Niebor – Head of Energy Transition Research at Enverus, offers a deep dive into what makes ERCOT one of the most vibrant and complex energy ecosystems globally, citing its diversity of resources, policy landscape, and rapid infrastructure development. On the supply side, the discussion highlights continued growth in solar, storage, and selective gas capacity additions, tempered by policy fragmentation and limited coordination mechanisms.
