Key Factors in the 2021 Failure

Unprepared Infrastructure: Power plants, wind turbines, and natural gas facilities were not properly weatherized, causing them to freeze and shut down.

Natural Gas Supply Chain Failure: Frozen wellheads, processing facilities, and the loss of power to compressor stations severely restricted natural gas deliveries. Because much of the state's thermal energy relied on gas, these fuel shortages compounded the power plant outages.

Record Demand vs. Supply: As temperatures plummeted into the single digits, demand for electricity to heat homes spiked to record highs, resulting in a severe supply deficit.
