The Electric Reliability Council Of Texas has issued a Voluntary Conservation Notice to all Texas residents.
The notice is effective today from 4 p.m. till 8 p.m. Tuesday night. ERCOT is asking everyone to voluntarily reduce usage during those peak hours.
Some recommendations include raising the thermostat on the AC by a few degrees, use fans and avoid running high energy electric appliances, like dryers, during those peak hours.
ERCOT says this will help lower the demand and keep the lights on.
