Doesn't it make sense then to send the power eastward while max generating it and then import power from the west later in the day when you need it? You could theoretically leverage the time differences and peak usage/generation. I understand there is losses in transmission but seems like a good juggling act

The Texas grid is not integrated with other states. I'm guessing breaking this "independence" is a tough political sell.

Power arbitrage between non-connected grids is a thing in the rest of the world. I'd be very surprised if nobody is doing it to/from Texas.

It would require DC/AC convertors, so there is a slight energy loss, and fairly significant upfront capital cost.
