CIDs to ERCOT and Oth­er Com­pa­nies Fol­low­ing Dan­ger­ous Win­ter Storm Pow­er Failures

Attorney General Ken Paxton today issued Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to ERCOT and other power companies regarding power outages, emergency plans, energy pricing, and more related to this week’s winter weather disaster. The large-scale failure of Texas power companies to withstand the winter storm left multiple millions of Texans without power and heat during lethal, record-low temperatures across the state.

“I’m using the full scope of my Constitutional powers to launch an investigation into ERCOT and other entities that grossly mishandled this week’s extreme winter weather. While Texans pulled together to get their communities through this disaster, they were largely left in the dark,” said Attorney General Paxton. “We will get to the bottom of this power failure and I will tirelessly pursue justice for Texans.”

This is not the first deep freeze Texas has had. Just first one we've had in a long while. That said, anon is old and had seen Tx temps in the teens plenty of times when young, but first time ever to see single digits, but it has probably happened before.

Seems it would be too long-term to carry on with anons, but what do I know.
