Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) amid statewide blackouts in freezing temperatures. "Far too many Texans are without power and heat for their homes as our state faces freezing temperatures and severe winter weather. ERCOT is facing fire for its management of the state’s power grid after 4.1 million people were left without power amid record snow and subzero temperatures. Energy suppliers planned to use rolling blackouts to deal with the demand, but the system was overwhelmed. More freezing weather is expected to hit the state Wednesday and some areas will see more snow.
