I'm wondering if it's even possible to transfer electricity that far ?
Anybody know ?

Sounds more like an austerity plan. Power moves within a grid from the nearest generator with power to spare (they actually borrow) and then to the next and so on. Theoretically if Texas was connected to one of the two national grids, power could have been sent from neighboring states with extra power generating capacity or with additional power available on hand. And states beyond their neighbors could have made up for their deficiency if possible.
