That solution wouldn't really be fair either. All the other electricity providers are going to have to sit down with ERCOT and figure out how to split the $2 billion bill here (https://www.wsj.com/articles/texas-power-market-is-short-2-1...) ; why should Griddy get their share subsidized by the state just because they passed the bill on to consumers? I don't think you're entirely wrong, but it seems like the bottom line is that Griddy's billing model just isn't compatible with the ERCOT market.
