COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS â The power is back on. kinda.
It s been a very tough week for Texans, it started with a deadly 100+ car pileup outside of Fort Worth, followed by chilling temperatures and days of widespread outages felt statewide, but there is a light gleaming at the end of this very dark week.
Both College Station Utilities and Bryan Texas Utilities took to Facebook to spread the good news Thursday. I think it was about midnight last night. ERCOT stopped the rolling outages because they were able to get enough generation online and load had dropped enough that it was no longer necessary, Timothy Crabb, Director of Electric Utility of College Station said.
