– ERCOT is requesting Texans to conserve energy on Tuesday evening as tight grid conditions are expected, despite the fact that temperatures across the state are only slightly above average.
Texans should conserve their electricity between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., if safe to do so, ERCOT said in a press release. Government entities and businesses are also urged to reduce their energy use. ERCOT said operating reserves are expected to be low due to a “high level of unexpected thermal generation outages” and forecasted low wind generation.
As of 1 p.m., ERCOT said it is not experiencing emergency conditions. However, “Current forecasts are showing a potential to enter emergency operations this evening...” Click“ERCOT continues to use additional tools to manage the grid reliably, including using reserve power, calling upon reductions by large electric customers that have volunteered to lower their energy use, and bringing more generation online sooner,” the release states.
CPS Energy declared Tuesday a “Yellow Day” that calls for conservation between 5 and 9 p.m. after initially declaring it a “Green Day.” Under that conservation level, residents are asked to adjust their thermostats to minimize HVAC use and avoid using large appliances during peak demand. ClickConservation is a widely used industry tool that can help lower demand for a specific period of peak demand time, which is typically late afternoon into the evening hours.
