Will Texas' power grid hold up with this week's winter storm? Gov. Greg Abbott says yes, but his critics aren't optimistic
On Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott said the state is prepared to “robustly respond” to a winter storm expected to sweep the state this week. The storm could cause snow, sleet, ice and plunging temperatures in many parts of Texas.
“First, I want you to know that we’re utilizing every applicable state agency to make sure that Texas will robustly respond to this extreme, cold winter storm that is going to be sweeping across Texas,” he said. “They are already bringing more generation online sooner than what happened last year,” he said. “They have additional crews already deployed.”
At one point during last year’s storm, some 13 million people were under boil water notices because of broken water lines and power outages at water treatment plants.
