ERCOT Urges Texans to Conserve Energy for Third Consecutive Day
TL;DR Summary
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has asked Texans to conserve electricity for the third consecutive day due to tight grid conditions caused by low wind and potentially low solar generation, along with high demand. ERCOT has set 10 new all-time peak demand records this summer and is implementing various measures to maintain grid reliability, including using reserve power, requesting reductions from large electric customers, and urging government agencies to reduce energy use. If outages occur, ERCOT states they are local and not related to overall grid reliability.
