More here on today's call for conservation
issued late Wednesday morning, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the agency that manages the state's power grid, asked the public news media to share a request that Texans voluntarily conserve energy between the hours of 2 p.m. and 9 p.m.
ERCOT said in a subsequent operational message that they are issuing a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage with no market solution available which puts them at risk for an Energy Emergency Event. ERCOT added that no system-wide outages are expected. ERCOT said record high demand Wednesday due to the ongoing heatwave paired with historically low wind generation, cloud cover over solar farms and forced outages at thermal generation facilities has led to today's call for conservation.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
