In simple words, Texas is not connected to the other two power grids.

In reality, it's a bit more involved. There is one area in north Texas
that gets power from Oklahoma and one small bit in east Texas that gets
power from Louisiana. In addition, there are some power-sharing agreements
with Mexico.

In the main, however, one can say that the Texas power grid stands alone
and not be too far off the mark.


The ONLY place where the power grids stand COMPLETELY alone are Newfoundland
and Quebec
The first because they're too far from land to be connected
The second because they produce far, far, more than they consume
