What Do All of ERCOT's Energy Conservation Alerts Mean?

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has a notification system for energy emergencies in the state. It's coming in handy during the current critical moment.

After recent storms ravaged the Texas power grid, increasing temperatures have the Electric Reliability Council of Texas sounding the alarm on a potential power emergency. The heat wave means that Texans will be pumping ACs and putting more strain on the power grid, although ERCOT predicts that demand will remain within its capacity. These conditions are expected to last through the end of the day Wednesday.
