Re: Stay Warm and Safe the Next Few Days

Austin is being told to now expect power to be back on today.

Live excess power generation right now in Texas : Operating Reserves: 2,870 MW.

Remember 1 mv powers roughly 200 homes. That's almost a million homes that could have power right now. Over 2.8 million out of power, so that could chop a third and then go back to rolling Blackouts instead of letting people freeze.

Customers experiencing an ERCOT-directed outage will remain out until conditions improve to serve critical loads and protect the overall reliability of the grid.
"The situation continues to worsen across Texas and here in Austin," said Austin Energy General Manager Jackie Sargent in a news release. "Austin Energy implemented required outages early Monday morning, doing our part to help stabilize the ERCOT grid. The required outages are more extensive than anyone expected and do not allow us to bring affected customers back online at this time.
So, instead of rolling outages, let's just leave those freezing.

34% of Travis county is out if power all mainly due to the choosen ones deciding who to turn off the power too.

Been out since 1:40 am here. About a third of the Travis county (Austin) has been out that long due to the blackout.
