1) their grid is not connected to grids in other states,
2) most of their natural gas and coal plants aren't winterized.

If the water pipes around the power plant freeze, the plant has to shut down.  And when their plants shut down, they can't buy electricity from other states. That's what's happening.

Just got off of a conference call with one of our Texas clients, and they echoed the same points.  However, this same thing happened to them in 2011, and thier governemt/energy companies did nothing since to correct the situation, so they are understandably not currently happy at the moment with their legislators.  Texas is slowly turning blue, so this isn't a suprize at all, really.

My Gawd! PM Generation from Maximo for Oil and Gas has been ignored!
