I may be incorrect, but Texas power is in its own kind of weird independent Texas power grid.

ERCON is a disaster.

Weird 3rd world, Communist Russia era mixed grid. Unless you’re in El Paso, then your tied into a modern grid that can handle cold weather like the rest of the country.

Or Lubbock. El Paso's connection is the Western grid. Lubbock's is the Eastern one, oddly enough.

Let's all get in game and blow up some fuel tanks.  That should warm things up.   :grin:
