Gunster Government Affairs Consultant Ron Brisé recently authored an article published by RealClear Energy encouraging Texas to look at Florida's successful grid-hardening strategies to enhance its electric grid's resilience against severe weather. Florida's proactive measures, such as undergrounding power lines, reinforcing infrastructure, and improving vegetation management, have proven effective in quickly restoring power after hurricanes.
He stresses the need for careful consideration by the Public Utility Commission of Texas to balance customer affordability while protecting vulnerable communities. Ultimately, Brisé advocates for immediate action to strengthen Texas' grid, ensuring faster recovery and safeguarding against future weather events.
