The storm, barely comparable to the crisis of last year, passes through with Texas largely unscathed
Texas appears to be
heading out of a two-day cold snap with no major down-time
for natural gas supplies and localized outages that had nothing to do with the
electrical grid.
Gov. Greg Abbott,
joined by the leaders of a half-dozen agencies, said the demand for electric
power in the state had peaked at 69,000 megawatts on Friday morning. The state
with a total of 86,000 megawatts available to serve demand on the grid.
“That’s important because
that far exceeds the estimated peak demand during last year’s Winter Storm
Uri,” Abbott said. “ERCOT forecasted that peak demand during Winter Storm Uri
was about 77,000 megawatts. That’s about 9,000 megawatts less than this year’s
highest available power supply.”
