ERCOT weather watch
 
ERCOT has issued a Weather Watch for most of this week, due to the expected higher than usual demand.
 
ERCOT issued a Weather Watch from January 6-10.
 
*A large part of Texas is expected to see temperatures dip below freezing during that timeframe.

*ERCOT says that grid conditions are expected to be normal this time.
*At this point, they're not asking people to conserve, and there's no talk of outages.
*The ERCOT website shows the grid is expected to have plenty of capacity to handle the extra demand.
 
What is a Weather Watch?
 
*ERCOT issues a Weather Watch to give advance notice of any forecasted significant weather that will result in higher electrical demand and the potential for lower reserves.
 
*If conditions would require it, a Weather Watch would be followed by a Voluntary Conservation Notice and Conservation Appeal.
 
*If electricity supply is still needed, there are three levels of Energy Emergencies; Controlled outages do not occur until Level 3.

All of Texas right now 🙄
