Regulation only appears in the article once because it's an article about the Texas grid, which is nearly fully deregulated internally, and is absolutely exempt from all federal regulations. Reliability is formed by adjusting spot prices and ERCOT's unique-in-the-nation capacity contracts, rather than specifying any individual generator comply to any individual standards.

(Here's what 'nearly fully' means: This is the section of what oversight ERCOT has over individual producers. https://www.puc.texas.gov/agency/rulesnlaws/subrules/electri... . It's a quick read, nine pages.)
