CONSERVATION ALERT: The Electrical Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued an Appeal for Conservation. Due to low wind-power generation and high demand, operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low for several hours this afternoon into the evening.
NEC members can help conserve electricity from 3pm-10pm by following these tips:
- Turn off non-essential lights and unplug unused chargers or devices
- Avoid using large appliances (stove, dishwasher, washing machine)
- Turn up the thermostat 2-3 degrees
- Refrain from using hot water
