on the Texas freeze released in late 2021 found that 87% of unplanned generation outages were due to fuel issues related to natural gas.The Texas Competitive Power Advocates, which represents electricity generators, said the fine was not a strong punishment. “Penalties should serve as an incentive to avoid violations, not as a minor inconvenience,” the group said in comments submitted to the Railroad Commission.
