All other continental U.S. states’ electrical grids are interconnected, so in times of high demand or power plant outages, power can be supplied from elsewhere. Texas alone is not connected to national grid, meaning that Texas cannot import power when needed. That means either outages or raising rates to match supply and demand for power.
