ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission have made several changes to the power grid to improve its performance during cold weather since the crisis, many of them a result of. Improvements include better power plant preparation, ensuring natural gas-fired plants have additional sources of fuel on site in case of emergency, and improving communications between electricity regulators, oil and gas regulators, and the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
“We’ve met with large operators, [local distribution companies], and pipeline companies, and they’ve confirmed they are prepared,” Keese said. “The RRC will continue to monitor the weather and work with other agencies to protect residents.” The PUC is still working to redesign Texas’ power market to implement a “reliability standard” and is expected to vote on the proposal early next year.

“The commission has done zero to improve energy efficiency and the terrible risk to consumers’ homes,” Silverstein said.
