AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued a Weather Watch for Wednesday, May 8th.
ERCOT says it is because of unseasonably high temperatures, high levels of expected maintenance outages during the Spring months, and the potential for lower reserves. As of now, the Texas power grid operator expects grid conditions to be normal during the watch.
In an attempt to be more transparent following the February 2021 winter storm that forced the grid to cut power for days to millions of Texans, ERCOT announces when conditions could be tight.
ERCOT says they will monitor conditions and will deploy all available tools to manage the grid. Officials are not asking for conservation at this time.
