Yep lot's of failure points due to the cold weather that affected a nuclear power plant (faulty sensors in the inflow tripped it into safe mode and took it off the grid) , the natural gas wells (water vapour in the gas freezes) and the infamous wind turbines (no heating/anti-freeze).
The problem was they could not import power from the Western grid (little interconnect capability for political reasons) and meanwhile El Paso and some border counties is humming right along because they are tied to the Western grid and not ERCOT.
