I seem to recall that in the late 90s, california was having blackouts in the summer and forced neighboring power grids to give them power below cost using some federal emergency mandate. I believe it was after that that Texas cut themselves completely off from everyone else. I remember a lot of discussion about it at the time because california had just spent years blocking every attempt to adding power generation, oil and gas projects etc. so many applauded the move since California wanted the benefits of energy while pushing NIMBY to the extreme.
That article makes it sound like Texas has always been separated but I'm 99.9% certain of the california inspired move to totally isolate.
