ERCOT issues voluntary conservation notice for Tuesday afternoon due to expected record demand for power texasnews breaking
With another day of sweltering heat in the forecast statewide, ERCOT is asking Texans to voluntarily reduce their electricity use Tuesday afternoon due to extreme temperatures and the anticipation of another day of record-setting demand for power.
ERCOT's Voluntary Conservation Notice is in effect Tuesday, June 20 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. CT. The agency said they are not under emergency conditions and that voluntary conservation is a widely used tool to help lower demand during times of peak usage, typically in the late afternoon and early evenings -- the hottest part of the day.
"The Voluntary Conservation Notice is part of ERCOT’s Texas Advisory and Notification System , alerting the public of grid conditions," the agency said."ERCOT is requesting all government agencies, including city and county offices, to implement all programs to reduce energy use at their facilities."Weather Watch from June 15-21On Monday, Texans smashed the June peak demand record by 3,000 megawatts using 79,304 MW of power.
ERCOT said they are using additional tools Tuesday 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.
