Texas power grid operator ERCOT sued over blackouts
Fox News
A Corpus Christi resident filed suit against the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) on Friday, alleging the power grid operator should be held liable after failing to adequately prepare for winter conditions that left state residents without power in recent days.
"This cold weather event and its effects on the Texas energy grid were neither unprecedented, nor unexpected, nor unforeseen," the lawsuit says, noting that similar conditions in 1989 and 2011 resulted in rolling blackouts. Representatives for ERCOT did not immediately return a request for comment. Millions of Texas residents lost power after sub-freezing temperatures compromised Texas’ power grid. McCarley’s lawsuit argues that energy demands amid the freezing temperatures were far less than those that exist during a typical summer.
