I know businesses are included for TX but i would guess about 20% of the population of TX is without power! just a guess on my part, weather channel shows Dallas area temp at 6 degrees, -15 with the wind! would rather have it & not need it then need it & not have it |

Hi Beeches, Love your posts! I live in Texas and some of the outages are deliberate. They do not have enough electricity in Texas now. So, deliberate, rotating outages from 30 minutes to an hour are being implemented across central Texas. |

The US power grid has 3 interconnects - Eastern, Western and Texas. Map: [link to pvrea.coop (secure)] great link from it: The power grid, which can be described as the largest, most complex machine ever built, involves an intricate network of power lines crisscrossing neighborhoods and open country, over mountains and through cities, which has evolved over the last century to supply consumers with safe, reliable, and affordable electricity. Literally millions of miles of power lines span the United States in a complex series of “highways”. There are three, large segments of the U.S. power: the Western Interconnection, Eastern Interconnection and Texas Interconnection. These three segments are staffed with people behind the scenes who carefully monitor the demand of electricity and make sure it’s delivered to where it needs to go at that moment in time. does this mean Texas is connected enough to get needed power from the other 2 interconnections?

My wife will be leaving here from Nor Cal in a couple of hours to drive down to L.A. to pick them up. Then their plan is to head to Houston on I-10. Besides the obvious road conditions issue, I am worried about what they will find when they get there. Daughter has a house already rented and ready for them, but it is currently vacant. I assume the water and power is turned off, but what kind of damage might there be since nobody is there to take care of the place? What the Hell?... |

We've been using 3 space heaters to keep the house at 60. With these rolling blackouts, I'm running the gas heater's blower with an inverter hooked to the battery out of my truck while the power is out and charging the battery when we have power. Seems like we're getting a half hour of power then a half hour without. "Tempus Fugit" |
