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
