Some of the explanation. Gas and coal plants have never been updated to handle periods of cold, so until they are updated, this will continue to happen.

That'll show the major transmission lines and how they do or don't interconnect.

The EIA also has an interactive map that lets you zoom in.

It also seems like Texas may need more than two nuclear plants.

Subject: [AFMUG] Power outages

El Paso Electric which serves our area and Southern New Mexico is not part of the other Texas utilities experiencing rolling power outages.  Back in 2011 we had power outages and water pipe damage.  Both utilities took steps to prove systems with anti-freeze technology and all types of sensors.  
We installed several sensors and links for many of these projects years ago.
As of 6:00pm today only 3,000 customers lost power for five minutes.
Hope you guys are safe.
