Description

In this podcast, Erin Kiszka, Janani Murugan, Victoria Page, and Daniela Paul discuss the Texas power grid and the terrible winter storm that ravaged the state in February of 2021. They investigate what went wrong during the storm and why ERCOT and energy companies reacted the way they did. The Texas power grid is unique and complicated, so several aspects of the energy market (ranging from consumers to suppliers to government officials) are analyzed to determine what the Texas power grid does well and what could be improved in order to prevent disasters in the future.
