SOLD OUT - ERCOT Tour and Lecture – Taylor
Lunch – Louie Mueller Barbecue
Monday, March 30, $35 pp
Depart SCPL 7:45 a.m.; Return 4 p.m.
Ticket Purchase Deadline: Wednesday, March 11 Where does our electricity come from and who manages the flow? ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas controls the flow of electric power throughout Texas. In a behind the scenes tour and an hour and a half lecture, we will learn what happens when they “throw the switch” from the nuclear power plant to our home. Some of the topics to be covered are the Grid Operation, Wind Energy and Electric Expense Bills. Plus, what happens when we have an emergency? Because this is a very secure facility, we must arrive early for our 10 a.m. tour to go through security and get our badges. Patience needed!
Important Notes: (1) Due to security issues, no ticket resales or exchanges are allowed for this outing. (2) At time of purchase, you must provide the following information: Name as shown on DL, DL#, State, Date of Birth, and Expiration Date. No passports – only Driver Licenses accepted. (3) No cameras or cell phone photos allowed.
After the tour, it is on to Louie Mueller Barbecue for our lunch of brisket, cole slaw and potato salad with the trimmings. Then we will take a behind the scenes driving tour of Taylor, noting the town’s important landmarks and gorgeous homes.
Ticket cost includes transportation, tour and lunch.
