In the fallout of the deep freeze last February in Texas, winterization is now mandatory for power generators. ERCOT has given its final winterization report. The first test for the winterized grid will be later this week. Lows will be in the 20s in North Texas and peak demand is expected Friday.
In the fallout of the deep freeze last February in Texas, winterization is now mandatory for power generators. The power grid operator says 321 out of 324 electric generation units and transmission facilities passed inspection. Bud Weinstein is a retired associate director of SMU's Maguire Energy Institute.
There's been little confidence in the grid since the statewide outages that left more than 200 dead. "There are 300,000 more Texans today than there were during the deep freeze last February," he said. "So that in itself suggests there's going to be an increase in power demand relative to a year ago."

O'Rourke raises $7M in first weeks of bid for Texas governorDemocrat Beto O'Rourke said Tuesday that his campaign for Texas governor raised $7.2 million in the first six weeks of a race that could wind up as one of the nation's most expensive in 2022. The announcement, made on the deadline in Texas for campaigns to submit their latest finance reports, is an early marker of whether O'Rourke can remain a fundraising powerhouse in his latest comeback after failed bids for the U.S. Senate and president. The haul is significant by the standards of other Texas Democrats who have run for governor but have failed to succeed for more than 30 years.
