Kristi Hobbs

ERCOT's Vice President of System Planning and Weatherization. Her "Item 16.2: System Planning and Weatherization Update," presented to the ERCOT Board of Directors on December 8–9, 2025, is the Tier-1 primary source this vault used to directly confirm (and, on one figure, correct) trade-press reporting of ERCOT's large-load interconnection queue — the mechanism anchoring the vault's Texas-grid-under-AI-demand thread. She matters here as the named official whose own board materials are now the load-bearing citation for that thread's headline numbers, not as a public figure in her own right.
