How the Texas Legislature could change the state's power grid this session
Lawmakers are considering legislation that would require power plants to weatherize and that would add charges to most Texans’ power bills to cover companies’ financial losses during the February winter storm.
During the winter storm, hundreds of public water systems in Texas were disrupted and millions of people lost access to safe drinking water. The loss of electricity at nursing homes and dialysis centers created life-threatening conditions for patients. More than 1,400 people sought care at emergency rooms and urgent care clinics for carbon monoxide poisoning, and at least 11 people died.
