FERC Chair Vows to Force Texas Power Grid to Prepare for Winter

摘要

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Richard Glick says all natural gas, coal, nuclear and wind plants in Texas should fully prepare for winter.1. “Some people literally froze to death,” Glick says during a meeting after the agency’s staff outlined recommendations for Texas’s power grid to avoid a repeat of last winter’s deadlyblackouts.2. “FERC will not permit these recommendations to be ignored or watered down,” Glick says3. Texas’s lack of connections to power grids in adjacent states is “short sighted and amounts to nothing more than cutting off your nose to spite your face”4. “This is not about jurisdiction but saving lives”.
