Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing but remain above the critical 20°F mark statewide, minimizing grid stress. With demand projected to stay under 70 GW—well below the 75 GW threshold for concern—the grid is prepared to handle the forecasted conditions.

[State Representative Briscoe Cain @RepBriscoeCain]

Winter Weather Update (Jan. 5, 2024):

Legislative actions and reforms to ERCOT and the PUC have strengthened grid resilience since the 2021 winter storm Uri, with improved winterization standards and oversight enhancing reliability.

[State Representative Briscoe Cain @RepBriscoeCain]
