God help Mexico.
This is insane.”
How are Nebraska and Iowa getting their power sent to the main Texas grid?
Is there provision for this? I thought most of Texas was on its own grid.
Family back home were notified by OPPD and REI that they would be on rotating black outs because of the situation in Texas.
Now a lot of the grids are interconnected. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is more because of the disruption in the natural gas supply or because Oklahoma also needs more energy than normal. While I am not an expert on the electrical grid, I do know that high demand from Texas and other points south leads to “Peak Days” in the Midwest during the summer.
