Around 640,000 energy customers in Texas are still facing power outages. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) says it is making progress in the matter, restoring power to around 1.6 million households yesterday.
ERCOT President and CEO Bill Magness said in a statement released on Wednesday: "We are working around the clock to restore power to Texan. We made progress today, but it will not be good enough until every person has their power back."
ERCOT Senior Director of System Operations Dan Woodfin added: "We're at a point in the restoration where we're going to keep energizing circuits as fast as we safely can until we run out of available generation. We hope to make significant progress overnight."
