Two big factors in my opinion...
#1 not much of any gear (regardless of type - green, fossil fuel, etc) were properly winterized...many pumps, pipes and related froze in the cold snap
#2 the Texas grid is not connected to the rest of the country’s grid. Number of reasons for this but most are related to avoiding regulation. National grid has many “costly” standards (like being winterized)...
So they are independent and will not be up and running until temperatures rise and repair can be made.
