The model should be reworked. But to say they are turning it into profit center is not true. It's a statement of fact that they will profit since their services will be in higher demand. They didn't turn it into anything. They stated the obvious.

Look at them floating trial balloons to see what they can gouge. I see class action lawsuits, consumer revolt and our political representatives say what! ERCOT is a scam. Maybe this is something Cruz could work on.
