Devastating, freezing weather last winter season from Winter Storm Uri wreaked havoc on the state of Texas, paralyzing a power grid unaccustomed to handling record lows and leading to the deaths of more than 200 people. More than 5.2 million homes and businesses were at one point without power over the course of half a month. The crisis ended up costing Texas at least $195 billion in damages, and may very well become the priciest weather event in state history. Lawmakers vowed to fix Texas power grid by implementing regulations that forced companies like ERCOT and CenterPoint to act. What they passed, and what was eventually signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, looks to be all hat and no cattle . The legislation, SB 2 and 3 , asks energy providers to weatherize their equipment but offers no real timeline and few financial incentives for achieving that goal. A proposed $2 billion earmarked to offset upgrade costs for power companies was discussed but never established. Language in a state House bill related to off-setting costs instead allows companies to seek customer-backed bonds as the energy market looks to bounce back from this year.
