ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) has issued a Weather Watch for Saturday through Tuesday, January 24-27, due to forecasted below-freezing temperatures with the possibility of frozen precipitation, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves.

ERCOT officials say grid conditions are expected to be normal during the Weather Watch.

An ERCOT Weather Watch is an advance notification of forecasted significant weather with higher electrical demand and the potential for lower reserves.

ERCOT says at this time, grid conditions are expected to be normal, and there is no current expectation of an energy emergency.

ERCOT says Texans should continue to monitor real-time and extended grid conditions at the ERCOT website.
