BREAKING: Nearly half of Texas' wind power generation capacity has been offline because of frozen wind turbines in West Texas, grid operators report 1/ atxne.ws/37gdNMh

Typically wind farms across the state generate up to a combined 25,100 megawatts of energy.

Fortunately, the storm's gusty winds are spinning the state's unfrozen coastal turbines at a higher rate than normal, helping to offset some of the power loss 2/ atxne.ws/37gdNMh

@brand4on

In Austin, wind power supplies roughly 19% of the city's energy demands, @brand4on reports.

The frozen turbines come as low temperatures strain the state's power grid and force operators to call for immediate statewide conservation efforts 3/ atxne.ws/37gdNMh
