That will be a problem.
Was a time the compressors were driven by engines that burned natural gas, but that was deemed harmful to Mother Gaia, so the compressors were converted to be run by electric motors.
A few winters ago in Texas, there was a large electrical outage (I don't recall if it was the one caused by all the windmills becoming becalmed or a different one) and all of a sudden the natural gas quit flowing.
They don’t have backup gen sets? Wow....

If generation can't meet load frequency drops, and eventually "under frequency relays" in the system will trip.
