The seventh sitting board member of the Texas grid operator has resigned in the wake of blackouts that hit the state last week during a severe winter storm.
Clifton Karnei, who represented electric cooperatives on the board, stepped down on Thursday evening, said Leslie Sopko, a spokeswoman for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, in a telephone interview.
