Connecting Texas power grid to U.S. would increase reliability and save hundreds of millions of dollars, study shows

DALLAS — While Congressman Greg Casar, D-Austin, has always argued his “Connect the Grid Act” would ensure reliability and reasonable rates for Texas consumers, he now has a major study to support his claims.Texas power grid

“Of course, we need new power plants. Of course, we need to weatherize and improve our existing grid. But by doing just one thing, connecting our infrastructure to the rest of the country’s infrastructure would solve an enormous part of the problem,” Congressman Casar told us on Inside Texas Politics.

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.
