Regional Transmission Organizations, MISO, and Multi-State Blackouts

Rolling blackouts extended beyond Texas, affecting states managed by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) such as MISO and the Southwest Power Pool. Utilities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma were forced to shed power due to historic demand and natural gas supply issues. In Omaha, Nebraska, residents experienced their first rolling blackouts in years despite being accustomed to extreme winter temperatures.
