Electric Reliability Council of Texas officials said the state s power grid was “seconds or minutes” away from catastrophic failure and a complete blackout if not for controlled outages implemented early Monday morning.
“I think if we hadn t taken action, it wouldn t have been that we would have waited a few days and saw what happened, it was seconds and minutes, given the amount of generation that was coming off the system at the same time that the demand was still going up significantly,” Bill Magness, president and CEO of ERCOT, said Thursday.
