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
One of their Hydro Project, covers the area of New York State.

Well, there's Hawaii. And Alaska.
