Four board members of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the entity that manages and operates the electricity grid that covers much of Texas, will resign on Wednesday, according to a notice to the Public Utility Commission.
All four of the members who are resigning live out of state.
Sally Talberg, the chairwoman of the board, Peter Cramton, the vice chairman, Terry Bulger, the chairman of finance and audit, and Raymond Hepper, the human resources and governance committee chairman will resign at the end of the ERCOT board meeting Wednesday morning, according to the notice.
ERCOT board members had come under fire last week when it was reported that four of the board members did not reside in the state. The board has also been criticized for its handling of last week's mass power outage during a winter storm that has claimed the lives of dozens of Texans. More than 4.5 million customers were without power at one point last week.
