Also, Illinois is the last place of any state that should be seeing outages during a heatwave. Most of their power is Nuclear which is the among the more tolerant to environmental circumstances.

Here is another article showing that Texas is not the only at risk state for this summer.

and another still...

I'm not disagreeing with you about the heat wave and issues caused in the MISO area, more semantics of calling it a national grid. But nationally, hopefully all grids are improved for these heat and cold waves.

I've never seen so many people SO upset that the Texas Power Grid has not failed during this heat wave.
We had a Historic high reading last week and managed to meet the challenge - those wish'n-hope'n for Blackouts/Brownouts are distraught .

Forget the politics.
BS, We just need to tie into the rest of the intercontinental grid and quit letting these politicians get their pockets fat from these Texas Energy lobbyist. No one in living outside of ERCOT is having these issues because their plants are being held to stricter regulations.

Unfortunately that's the easiest way to brainwash these fools into looking the other way. ERCOT is a clusterpuck.

If wanting to point out worse electric transmission companies compared to the ones in Texas, then PG&E would have been a much better choice than Illinois'. I believe that company has caused more deaths overall than other electric transmission companies.
All of the grids tie into each other under NERC guidelines with the exception of ERCOT (emergency request only) PG&E is a solid Utility company (not a GRID) with reliable power, their issues are more to do with environmental (CA wildfires) than power delivery.

The rates in TX( ERCOT) have shot way up since the winter freeze. the cost for them to do what they should have always done have been passed off to us lol.

since almost half the state are higher Texas is better off. In addition the rates do not reflect all the add on taxes, fees, distribution, minim charges for availability that is added on. Statistics can lie. I can tell you Calif is not anywhere close to .18 cents when the bill comes in.
