If you go to the direct link on Bloomberg you will not be able to access the information because Bloomberg has it tied up behind a paywall and logging in. I decided to share this anyway, because living without electricity during the winter is deadly. We have personally had potentially life-threatening experiences in the past two years with power outages in February of 2021 and February of 2022 and are dreading a cold snap or a winter storm. This is a good time to make any preparations that might be helpful if you should lose power even for a short time. Having small flash lights, batteries on hand, extra blankets, firewood are a few items you might want to think about having on hand. I'm sure there's a much longer list and maybe you can share some ideas.
One new prepper measure we are adding to our power-outage-winter-prep-kit this year is having several UPC battery back ups in the house beyond for the use for our computers. We plan to set these up in our bedrooms to keep our electric blankets on for whatever time we can in case we lose power.
Power grids from the Great Lakes to Louisiana, New England, Carolinas, and all of Texas are the most at risk for power supply shortfalls during high-demand periods, according to Bloomberg, citing a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), a regulatory body that manages grid stability.
NERC said a cold snap for an extended period could spark grid strain due to soaring power demand from households and businesses. This would cause supplies of natural gas, coal, and backup diesel generators to draw down more quickly and possibly experience shortages.
