Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said Texas’s electric grid will withstand a severe winter blast this weekend, which is set to bring extremely low temperatures and dangerous conditions. 

“We feel very good about the status of the Texas power grid, and ERCOT, to be able to effectively and successfully ensure that the power is going to stay on throughout the entirety of this winter storm episode,” Abbott said during a Friday press conference.
