Texas utility provider ERCOT said on Wednesday it forecast a high energy demand through Sunday due to a winter storm.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said that frozen precipitation could cause local outages, adding it issued a "winter weather watch" through Sunday, Feb. 6.
"With frozen precipitation there is always a chance for local outages caused by things like ice on wires or fallen tree limbs", ERCOT said in an emailed statement. A deadly deep freeze last year crippled the state's electric grid, leaving millions without power in freezing temperatures.Reporting by Kanishka Singh in BengaluruSubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
