Gov Abbott talking LIVE now on @khou⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Keep up with all the updates coming in as the winter cold front moves through Texas. khou.com/mobile/article…
Gov Abbott: "we have +15% power capacity than last year as result of winterization across the state... increase in power generators online b/c of improved maintenance schedules... alternative fuels or generators to generate power... all participants chain work together" @khou
(not direct quote) Gov Abbott:
...at this time, despite abundant power supply in the grid of Texas, there remain about 20k homes without power. it isn't b/c the power grid doesn't have enough power, it's a local power supply issue. likely ice weighing down lines... @KHOU
@KHOU Gov Abbott: good news is there were about 70,000 texans without power when we were here with you yesterday... today we have about 20,000 texans without power (not a direct quote and he is referring to homes, not people). @KHOU

@KHOU
@KHOU chairman of PUC: "...the grid was ready for this event. it is performing as expected and it is performing better than it has ever been. we have more backup for generators than before, more reliability than before - especially in winter events like this." @KHOU
@KHOU chairman of PUC: "...we implemented more reforms in a shorter amount of time than any other grid in the US..."
@KHOU
@KHOU head of ERCOT Brad Jones: "our preparations have been extraordinary. we continue to see high loads this evening and tomorrow morning. we remain on the highest level of alert. we will continue that for several more days." @KHOU
