A family is suing Texasโ€™ power grid operator after their son died from suspected hypothermia. But ERCOT may be shielded from lawsuits.

Read full article: A family is suing Texasโ€™ power grid operator after their son died from suspected hypothermia. But ERCOT may be shielded from lawsuits.

The family of an 11-year-old boy who died last week in Conroe during power outages while Texas endured a freezing winter storm is suing Entergy Texas and operators of the stateโ€™s power grid for a total of $100 million. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which is being sued by the family, operates the decentralized electrical grid system. The Texas grid is not governed by federal regulations. The immunity would not prevent the family from suing Entergy Texas, however. Entergy Texas and ERCOT declined to comment on the ongoing lawsuit from Pinedaโ€™s family.

The law firm of Houston attorney Tony Buzbee is representing the Pineda family in the lawsuit over the death of 11-year-old Cristian Pineda. Adโ€œCommon sense tells you the weather played a part in his death,โ€ Buzbee said. โ€œWhatโ€™s interesting about this whole ordeal is what these power providers and ERCOT knew long before many of us knew it,โ€ Buzbee said. Entergy released the following written statement about the lawsuit: โ€œWe are deeply saddened by the loss of life in our community. We are unable to comment due to pending litigation.โ€AdKPRC 2 has also asked ERCOT for a statement regarding the lawsuit.
