Ercot nearly at capacity for Texas power grid
Batteries don't work all that well at these lower temperatures. I suppose if your Tesla is in a garage that would work, though.

Teslas regulate their battery heat for this reason.

Of course, during these cold snaps, the battery doesn't really work well, right?

Powerwalls have an operating temperature range of -4 F to 122 F (-20 C to 50 C), although they recommend 32-86 F (0-30 C).
They can also be mounted indoors.

So as far as I can gather, there are no generating units (other than wind turbines) that are down for maintenance? There is really only a low pressure problem in the pipeline system that is causing some combustion units to idle?
