Four members of ERCOT, Texas’ power grid operator, are expected to resign Wednesday following a winter storm that left millions of Texans without power in harsh and freezing conditions last week.

NBC News reports that the board chairwoman and vice chairman of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, including two other board members, released a joint statement issued detailing “their intention to resign at a meeting Wednesday, according to a filing with the Texas Public Utility Commission.”
