Hmm. Didn't Texas' leaders assure us they'd completely fixed the power grid? Texas TexasGrid PowerGrid GregAbbott electricity summer ERCOT TexasLegislature
After six power plants went down unexpectedly Friday — and with hot weather expected across Texas this weekend — the Electric Reliability Council of Texas on Friday evening is asking consumers to conserve electricity through Sunday.
A spokesperson for ERCOT, which operates the state’s main power grid, told the Texas Tribune he does not expect there to be electricity blackouts this weekend. The power plant failures led to a loss of about 2,900 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power more than 580,000 homes. April and May are referred to as “shoulder months” in the energy world. That’s the time of year when power plants go offline in order to conduct necessary maintenance and other repairs before the hot summer months.
