The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) issued a conservation appeal due to a winter storm hitting Texas, but the grid conditions returned to 'green' as the conservation appeal ended.

Despite earlier concerns, the actual demand versus forecast demand was off by 10,000 megawatts, and supply exceeded forecasted levels.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued a Weather Watch due to forecasted higher temperatures, expected higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. The watch, which will last until Monday, is not an emergency situation but serves as an early notification for significant weather and high demand. ERCOT advises people to monitor grid conditions and may issue voluntary conservation notices if necessary.
