The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, grid operator for most of Texas, is asking electric consumers to limit their electric use as much as possible on this morning. ERCOT's director of System Operations, Dan Woodfin, says "The cold weather and accompanying wind that has spread across the region is expected to result in high electric demand for today's peak.” Consumers can help reduce demand by keeping your thermostat as low as is comfortable, preferably no higher than 68 degrees, turning off and unplugging non-essential lights and appliances and avoid running large appliances, such as washers, dryers and electric ovens.
