Texas Prepares for Weekend Winter Storm, Emphasizing Grid Resilience

Texas braces for a weekend Arctic cold snap with snow, sleet, and ice while officials say the state’s power grid is better prepared than during Winter Storm Uri, thanks to more generation (solar, wind, batteries) and hardened natural-gas facilities. ERCOT projects sufficient generation to meet demand, though ice and downed tree limbs could cause local outages. Preparations include warming centers, road treatment, and emergency response teams; Dallas and Austin are expanding warming-center capacity, and Texas leaders plan briefings to coordinate across agencies.
