Effects of the Winter Storm in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) Region and AEGIS Contingent Outage Presentation

In February, record-setting, sub-freezing temperatures in Texas knocked out almost half of the power generation in the state.  More than 4.5 million homes and businesses in ERCOT’s region were left without power, some for several days.  Marina Nadirova, AEGIS Class Underwriter, provides an overview of the event and highlights how the AEGIS Contingent Outage product can help mitigate the risk of similar events.
