ERCOT Girds For High Use, Urges Electric Conservation
ERCOT Girds For High Use, Urges Electric Conservation
Lead in text:
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates Texas' power grid, has said it hopes to avert blackouts this summer. That statement may soon be tested, however, as ERCOT is urging users to conserve electricity from 3-7 p.m. today, due to "continued extreme heat creating tight capacity." Austin has predicted highs in the triple digits all this week.
