ERCOT ISSUES WEATHER WATCH FOR NEXT WEEK

  

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued a Weather Watch from Monday thru Thursday, January 20-23.

The watch was issued due to forecasted extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves.

Winter precipitation is expected across parts of the state.

According to ERCOT, grid conditions are expected to be normal during the Weather Watch.

ERCOT added that they are monitoring conditions closely and will deploy all available tools to manage the grid.  

At this time, grid conditions are expected to be normal, and there is no current expectation of an energy emergency.

ERCOT encourages everyone to sign up for grid condition notifications through the Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS). Texans can also monitor real-time and extended grid conditions at ercot.com.
