Dallas (1080 KRLD)- The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, otherwise known as ERCOT, is requesting "energy conservation" ahead of a potential entry into "emergency conditions," per an official press release on Tuesday.
"Due to a combination of high generation outages typical in April and higher-than-forecasted demand from a stalled cold front over Texas, ERCOT may enter into emergency conditions this afternoon," said ERCOT Vice President of Grid Planning and Operations Woody Rickerson.
"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."
The release went on to request "energy conservation at this time," from their consumers and businesses. This request currently applies to Tuesday afternoon and evening.
This is an ongoing story.
