A polar vortex descended into the central United States in February 2021. The unusually cold temperatures forced many power plants offline and sharply curtailed natural gas production, leading to multi-day blackouts in Texas and shorter blackouts across the Great Plains. All generator types were affected to some degree, including nuclear power plants. This panel will focus on the performance of energy systems and markets during the February 2021 cold weather event.
