Ex-ERCOT CEO rejoins agency as board member, says he wants to ask questions, not place blame Claire Osborn, Austin American-Statesman Replay Video UP NEXT A former chief executive of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages most of the state's power grid, is rejoining the agency as it tries to restore its reputation after one of the state's worst weather disasters. Bob Kahn, who has been selected to serve on the council's board, said his goal is to ask questions about the widespread power outages that crippled Texas in February during a record-setting freeze across the state. "I think we need to gather as many facts as we can to figure out what happened; my goal is not to place blame on anyone," Kahn said.
