Winter Storm Elliott spread extremely cold temperatures across much of the country and knocked out power for millions just before Christmas. Utilities and grid operators prepared for the storm as it was coming down the pike, but they still underestimated the energy demand it would trigger, as well as the number of outages at fossil fuel power plants—mainly natural gas-fired, plus some coal-fired plants.
