Yep, the System Administrator over at the Power Pool (or at least that's what it WAS called) can order rolling blackouts if demand outpaces supply.

We were actually selling power through the day, when the price hit $999/MWh (the max it can hit). We buy for around $4, so it was a pretty profitable day....

People (Power producers) made some serious cash today if you were selling in at market price!
