After Texas Power Failures, South Carolina Gov Wants Winter Storm Review of Grid
February 25, 2021
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster wants the state’s electric providers to review their power grids to see if they could face problems like what happened in Texas during the recent winter storm.
McMaster sent a letter Friday to the Office of Regulatory Staff, asking the watchdog group to “undertake a comprehensive review of our state’s public and private power grid to evaluate its ability to withstand potential ice storms and other dangerous winter conditions.”
His letter noted the state is familiar with how hurricanes can disrupt power.
