Original Note:
Cold weather events happened in 2011 and in 1989. The reason for the outages has to do with the maintenance to equipment at gas, coal and nuclear plants, which account for 2/3 of electricity production. Renewables were effected but not wholly to blame. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-16/frozen-wind-farms-were-just-a-small-piece-of-texas-s-power-woes?fbclid=IwAR1rHpKWGO5W335t6TXZO75KLH-nHJB_MbqctwV4Kkr-ELqVMVNyEfgxCzw
