AUSTIN: THE SAFE CHOICE
Low Incidence of Natural Disasters
Reliable, Stable Power
More than 100 miles outside of Tornado Alley and 200 miles
from the nearest coast, Austin is located within an area that is
one of North America’s safest from the effects of natural disasters
and extreme climate changes. Austin’s location provides an
environment with a low incidence of natural disasters crucial for
mission-critical operations.
INDEPENDENT POWER GRID
SEATTLE
Texas is on its own power grid, regulated and managed by the
Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), an Independent
System Operator. The Texas Interconnect supplies its own energy
and is completely independent of the Eastern and Western
Interconnects - where one state’s power decisions may affect
all states. The independent power grid protects Texas from
experiencing cascading power problems.
