ERCOT, Texas

Worried about power outages in Texas during this winter storm? Here’s what to know.
After a statewide blackout in 2021 and a massive Austin outage in 2023, cold weather means energy anxiety for many in Central Texas.
There were power outages Tuesday, but don't blame ERCOT. Ice, snow took down lines in South Texas.
