Researchers at the Massachusetts Ins ute of Technology, MIT, discovered that connecting the Texas power grid to the rest of the country would have prevented up to 80% of the blackouts that occurred during the devastating Winter Storm Uri in 2021.https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/po...6-6cee34dd95c7After studying Congressman Casar’s legislation, MIT released a research brief that focused on four key areas: transmission requirements, how the grid would handle extreme weather events, cost savings and climate benefits.
In addition to fewer blackouts and increased grid reliability during extreme weather events, MIT researchers say the Connect the Grid Act would also save between $901 Million and $1.24 Billion annually.
