Severe weather is here across the U.S., and it pays to be iron strong for your communities. In Woodward, Oklahoma, Northwestern Electric Cooperative experienced a straight-line wind event last summer that knocked down several wood poles. But as you can see in these photos, their ductile iron poles stood resilient. Northwest Electric Coop is using ductile iron poles throughout their system to prevent a cascading failure of wood poles when a wind or ice event happens, and this summer their grid is stronger than ever. https://bit.ly/3RtGa0y

Texas #PowerPrices hit quadruple digits during one of the hottest days on record. At 105.2 degrees F, Aug. 17 was the Electric Reliability Council of #Texas' second-hottest day in population-weighted high temperatures since CustomWeather started collecting the statistic in 2015. The power market set systemwide hub real-time prices in quadruple digits for 6.5 hours in the afternoon and evening. ERCOT's power demand on Aug. 17 approached its 85.4-GW all-time record, set on Aug. 10. Still, it did not break it, possibly because ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas requested voluntary conservation of power use from 3 pm to 8 pm CT.

Texas is especially vulnerable to major power outages due to looming freezing weather, and the lack of investment of our Texas Electric Grid. Businesses that are high energy users should consider taking sustainability measures that can protect them for potential interruptions. With the latest in Solar and Energy Storage Technology, businesses should at least having a feasibility study done on their facilities to see how they can potentially benefit from such. There are significant tax incentives in which businesses can take advantage of. The future is now.
