Nine months after the historic February winter storm left Oklahoma, Texas and other states frozen in the Midwest, U.S. power regulators issued their final report on the great freeze.
Their recommendation? Electric grids should do more to strengthen cold weather rules and coordinate with the natural gas industry so the nation doesn’t experience the kind of power losses it did 9 months ago.
The strongly-recommended actions came from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) reported Reuters.
The groups studied events such as the natural gas freezes that resulted in rolling electrical blackouts through Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.
