So they are holding power somewhere?

I don't envy you lot in the US.

The state has a fixed maximum power output capacity. I will say that they've increased the max capacity since the disaster in February of last year, but I haven't been able to find any information confirming they've done any weatherization since last year. When they passed the law to force power companies to weatherize equipment as necessary, they also included a provision where they could pay about $150 to just not do it. You can guess which option they chose.

So essentially, we're all just about to find out whether Texas can handle everyone running the heat when it's below 32 degrees all night.
