ERCOT is alerting Texas power plants to get ready for emergency conditions this Mother's Day weekend.
"That’s putting everyone on notice," said Doug Lewin, President of Stoic Energy. "We’re going to need every megawatt hour we can get."A record-breaking heat wave is expected to impact Texas Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Temperatures could soar into the upper 90s and above 100 degrees in certain parts of the state.
According to Kent Prochazka, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, this heat wave could set new high temperature records across the state. Prochazka says it’s unusual to see this sort of extreme heat this early in May. "If we see triple digits drag into Monday, we’ll probably be pretty close to the edge to whether we have enough [power] supply for demand," said Lewin.
