In the 4 years I lived in New England, 2 blizzards and a bomb cyclone the power never went out. And yes this is related to grid. You really think Texas’ deregulated ass is doing all this.

1. Planning ahead​

Our transmission and distribution systems must be resilient to storm conditions, and we work all year round to ensure we’re ready for all kinds of severe weather. This includes:

• upgrading and maintaining equipment, as well as routinely checking the condition of our assets and the environment around them.
• reviewing weather forecasts based on multiple weather prediction models.
• collaborating with other industry parties, such as the Electricity System Operator (ESO) and local Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), to understand our collective resilience and anything we may need to manage together
• evaluating the network status and, if practical, looking to return any assets that may be out for scheduled maintenance earlier than planned to make the network more resilient
• putting plans in place to make sure we can restore power supplies quickly and safely in the event of a power cut.
• putting temporary generators and flood defences on standby, as well as helicopters to help identify badly affected areas and hasten repairs.
• reviewing workforce plans to ensure effective staffing, both in the field and in our control rooms.
• having additional colleagues on standby across all parts of our business, whether that’s operational and engineering staff to respond to network issues, contact centre staff to help customers with enquiries, or colleagues ready to provide IT or other functional support.
• diverting teams and resources away from planned non-essential work in case they’re needed to assist.

4. Making sure there’s enough electricity available​

The TNCC is also in constant contact with the Electricity System Operator (ESO), who balance supply and demand in the electricity system. They monitor the weather and prepare by anticipating different scenarios to make sure they have enough electricity reserves available for unforeseen losses of supply or generation.

You can't weather proof it but I completely understand your feelings towards the state of Texas. It is unwashed booty. Where do you plan to head to?

I feel you but I've never seen this many trees and power lines down

 

[Rich Spirit]

Yeah, anyone living around either Sugar Land or Missouri City didn't lose any power.

I'm in Richmond and didn't lose power, at least not yet (knock on wood)

Don't go to Mass. It ain't for us. Look into NY, PA, NJ, or the DMV instead. Chicago is cool. But not Mass.

I lived there for 4 years with no problem and was cool with my Jamaican barbers. Only time I ever experienced any cism was Bumblefukk, CT.

PA would be cool though.

Never mind then. You've lived it. I've heard bad things about Mass but the NE is great. Coming back to Texas from NY is like living in purgatory.
