North and South Carolina incoming
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Duke Energy projects nearly 1 million people will lose power in the Carolinas due to the looming winter storm.
The hazardous wintry precipitation and high-winds from the approaching winter storm would be the cause of the nearly 1 million power outages - some lasting several days - beginning Thursday in North Carolina and South Carolina https://www.wbtv.com/2021/02/17/nearly-million-power-outages-projected-carolinas-due-winter-storm/
Rolling blackouts in various states to send power elsewhere
organizations such as the Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent Independent System Operator run parts of the grid from southern states up the middle of the country to North Dakota. Demand for power soared on their systems too as the extreme cold hit the south-central U.S. Both directed utilities to impose rolling outages this week to balance the demand and supply of power in an effort to avoid much greater blackouts, though only directives from SPP affected North Dakota.
