Residents across Texas should brace for the possibility of rolling power outages Thursday evening, local officials said.
ERCOT is asking Texans to cut back on their energy use on Thursday due to the ongoing, intense heat Houstonians are facing.
The latest conservation request from ERCOT — the third in the past week — seeks to reduce power demand from 3 to 10 p.m. Thursday.
The state’s power grid manager says Texans should conserve electricity Thursday until 10 p.m. because of a “high potential to enter emergency operations.”
Due to low wind-power generation and high demand, operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low for several hours Thursday, prompting an appeal for Texans to conserve electricity use, from 3-10 p.m.
