ERCOT asks Texans to conserve power during peak hours through the weekend

The ask to conserve power comes after ERCOT said six power generation facilities tripped offline, resulting in the loss of 2,900 MW of electricity.ERCOT asked Texans to reserve power by setting their thermostats at 78 degrees and avoiding the usage of large appliances such as dishwashers, washers and dryers during the peak hours between 3 p.m. - 8 p.m. this weekend.

“With unseasonably hot weather driving record demand across Texas, ERCOT continues to work closely with the power industry to make sure Texans have the power they need. This afternoon, six power generation facilities tripped offline resulting in the loss of approximately 2,900 MW of electricity. At this time, all generation resources available are operating.

You guys should be investigating how n why the 6 plants went off line. And what’s it gonna take to get them back online….or how many are back up n running instead of asking ppl to put their ac temp at 78 n not run appliances during certain times…

IM ASKING TEXAS POLITICIANS TO STOP THE CRIME THEY DON'T LISTEN TO ME SO IM NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO THEM ALL THEY DO IS SIT COOL IN THEIR 3000 SQFT MANSIONS WHY DON'T YOU ROLL ON OVER TO YOUR AC AND TURN IT OFF?

VOTE BETO!!!

If we joined the national grid, this wouldn’t happen. Texas is stealing our money to prevent Federal Registration that would lower electricity bills and secure steady power.

The answer is no….keeping it as cold as I want…The PUBLIC ask ERCOT to fix their S**T….

Thanks Obama, er I mean Biden, anyone else’s fault but hot wheels.

If the collapse of the Texas power grid didn’t kill you last winter then a little heat wave might. Good thing King Abbott is on it.

ERCOT:

This occurred earlier today

Just wait. So can publishers sue when their books get banned and taken off shelves? GOP says they are against censorship but yet their behavior says otherwise. Lol what? So in Texas you’re entitled to just use any platform you like, regardless of whether or not you abide by their rules? 🤦‍♂️
