Depends on situation, I suppose.
Winter 2 years ago, it was a total cluster-f caused by generators not being properly weatherized (the owners chose to pay ridiculously small fines rather than weatherizing the equipment), extremely low temp and high demand. In that case the was grid less stable than it could have been by own doing.
We also had a shortage a few months ago when solar farms were not producing enough because of cloud coverage in west Texas, along with wind turbines not being propelled enough - and brutally high temperatures. That other time a “help” from other grids would come in handy and there was not much TX could have prepared on its own.
