ERCOT Issues Weather Watch

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued a Weather Watch from Monday, January 15, until Wednesday, January 17, due to forecasted extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. They expect grid conditions to be normal during an ERCOT Weather Watch. In addition, there is a 20% chance of precipitation during this event, including rain and possible freezing rain. ERCOT encourages everyone to sign up for grid condition notifications through the Texas Advisory and Notification System. Texans can also monitor real-time and extended grid conditions at ercot.com.
