The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a call for voluntary conservation as low power reserves are projected.Philip JankowskiAUSTIN — The operator of Texas’ electric grid has issued a call to the public for energy conservation Monday as excessive heat could lead to an energy emergency.
ERCOT stopped short of indicating power might be cut off and said that “no system-wide outages are expected,” according toThe watch is a notification preceding an “energy emergency alert,” which is a more severe alert indicating ERCOT might order operations to shut down or be limited at large scale electric users such as manufacturing facilities or big box stores. Those alerts range from calls for conservation to rolling blackouts.
The tightest hour will be between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. during which ERCOT is predicting that wind energy will only be producing at roughly 8% of its capacity. At that time, solar power will be producing at 81% capacity, but makes up a much smaller share of Texas’ total energy generation.
