Source: TESLA After Winter Storm Uri, Texas learned the hard way that its grid restoration system needs a reboot. Over 80% of ERCOT’s Black Start units failed during the 2021 freeze, exposing weaknesses in a system built around fossil generation. Now ERCOT and FERC are exploring whether Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can help restart the grid after a blackout—using fast-acting, inverter-based batteries to energize substations and transmission corridors.
