Days ahead of a deep freeze forecast to plunge into Texas, a final report filed Tuesday by the state’s electric grid operator with the Public Utility Commission (PUC) said nearly all of the electric generating units and transmission facilities that were required to winterize have done so.

“The Texas electric grid is more prepared for winter operations than ever before,” said Brad Jones, Interim CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

The grid operator conducted onsite inspections at 302 electric generation units during December, representing 85% of the megawatt hours lost during Winter Storm Uri because of outages. Twenty-two transmission station facilities also were inspected.
