Correction, Aug. 30, 2022 2:25 pm: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the fines that some natural gas companies face if they violate new state rules on preparing their facilities for extreme weather events. The maximum fine is $1 million, not $5,000. The story also incorrectly stated what percentage of power outages during the winter storm were due to problems related to natural gas. Natural gas issues comprised 87% of unplanned outages related to fuel issues, not 87% of all unplanned outages.
Texas gas companies face fines up to $1 million for failing to prepare for extreme weather
