    ERCOT Expects Tight Grid Conditions, Requests Conservation Today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT

    Source: ERCOT · Aug 30, 2023

    ERCOT said it was asking Texans to conserve electricity from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT because “operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low this evening” due to “a high level of unexpected thermal generation outages and forecasted low wind generation” (ERCOT, Aug. 30, 2023). ERCOT also said it “has obtained Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) enforcement discretion,” allowing generators to extend operations to help meet demand and maintain reliability.
