Prolonged frigid temperatures last weekend caused electricity demand in the Texas power grid, or ERCOT, to explode. The extreme cold resulted in more than 30GW of power plant outages, and a situation where demand outstripped supply by 30%. This resulted in millions of Texans being without power, heat, and clean water. This week, Switched On speaks with Anastacia Dialynas, head of US oil research, and Nick Steckler, head of North America power analysis for BNEF. They're going to tell us about how the state’s power, oil and gas sectors went down at once, and what Texas might consider to 'build back better'.

BNEF users can find ongoing coverage of U.S. power, oil and gas markets on bnef.com, the bnef mobile app, and the Bloomberg terminal.

Switched On is hosted this week by Mark Taylor.
