ERCOT & Sovereign Immunity

What is happening? The Texas Supreme Court will hear 2 cases that present the question- does ERCOT have immunity?

Why is this important? The two cases couldn’t be more different. Panda is about data accuracy, and CPS is about Winter Storm Uri and its effects. The lower court sin Panda said no to immunity & the lower courts in CPS said that CPS has to exhaust the administrative process first.

How will this be important? Texas has a forth coming legislature and these issues will be out in the wild during that time.
