ERCOT said its request for voluntary conservation is between 3-8 p.m. 'due to forecasted high demand, and lower reserves due to low wind generation.'
ERCOT asked Texans to voluntarily conserve power Thursday. While it did not experience an emergency status, the state's power grid said conditions were tight.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, has issued its own request that Texans conserve energy, though it's voluntary. ERCOT, the operator of the state's electric grid, issued a voluntary notice for 3-8 p.m. on Thursday "due to extreme temperatures, forecasted high demand, and lower reserves due to low wind generation," it said on social media.ERCOT said that's it not in emergency operations, but the request does ask for all government agencies, including city and county offices, to implement any programs to reduce energy use at their facilities.
A Weather Watch is supposed to provide the public with early notification, and at least three to five days in advance, when higher demand is forecasted. A message from ERCOT's Texas Advisory and Notification System says a Weather Watch is in place through Friday, Aug. 18. that the Public Utility Commission said the odds of the grid failing this summer are low, but it's possible it can happen.Related Topics
