ERCOT Warns of Emergency Conditions, Asks Texans to Conserve Energy

This is a developing story

ERCOT sent out a tweet Tuesday afternoon requesting “energy conservation” and may declare an emergency allowing them to “access additional resources.”

ERCOT said that they do not expect any customer outages and that this is due to “outages typical in April” and a “stalled cold front over TX.”

Vice President of Grid Planning and Operations Woody Rickerson said in a statement, “ERCOT may enter into emergency conditions this afternoon.

“Given the event in February, it is important to note that we do not expect customer outages. Rather, this emergency declaration allows us to access tools that will bring supply and demand back into line.”
