said the state is more prepared for the weather this year than it was the last, but said there could be power outages again.
Last year, over two million Texans were out of power after the state's power grid was hit by a winter storm and freezing temperatures."I can guarantee the lights will stay on," Abbott said to a KTBC-TV reporter in November. "No one can guarantee that there won't be a load shed event," Abbott said, according to the Texas Tribune."But what we will work and strive to achieve — and what we're prepared to achieve — is that the power's going to stay on across the entire state."

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas and dozens of power producers had a lawsuit filed against them in Travis County District Court.
