Could you please elaborate on which regions of Texas are not part of ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas? I'm curious to know if there are any specific geographical areas or municipalities that are exempt from ERCOT's jurisdiction and management of the state's electric grid. It would be insightful to understand the reasons behind their exclusion, if any, and how they manage their electricity supply and demand independently.

I've been hearing a lot about ERCOT and their work in managing the Texas power grid, but I'm curious about their compensation package. Does ERCOT pay well for the work that they do? I understand that it's a critical job that requires a lot of expertise and attention to detail, so I'm wondering if the pay reflects that. Additionally, are there any benefits or perks that come with working at ERCOT that might make it a more attractive opportunity for job seekers? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
