ERCOT will end emergency conditions today after worst winter storm in 30 years

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) plans to end emergency conditions today.

"There is enough generation on the electric system to allow us to begin to return to more normal operating conditions," said Senior Director of System Operations Dan Woodfin.


Demand reportedly leveled off overnight and no additional power outages were required.

Some customers still without power are likely dealing with damage to a distribution system that will have to be fixed manually. ERCOT says they should contact their electric provider if they are still without power.

As of Friday morning, approximately 34,000 MW of generation remains on forced outage due to this winter weather event. Of that, nearly 20,000 MW is thermal generation and the rest is wind and solar.
