AUSTIN – ERCOT has asked Texas residents to voluntarily conserve electricity Thursday evening.
According to a request from ERCOT, due to the current record temperatures across the state, Texas is experiencing extremely high energy use.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas* (ERCOT), the organization that manages the electricity grid, is requesting that Texans conserve their energy use in support of grid stability.
Support grid stability by:
• Raising your thermostat by a degree or two, if safe to do so.
• Limiting your usage of large appliances (i.e., washer/dryer, etc.)
• Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances.
