According to a Department of Energy report, as reported by US News [1], in 2023 California ranked #37 for "the number of minutes of power outages the average customer experiences in a year". Texas was much better at #28.

People probably think otherwise because of availability bias, after that multi day outage that made headlines nationwide a few years ago. (In the same way that people overestimate the danger of plane crashes because they're rare but dramatic.)
