ERCOT urges Texans to conserve power amid record-breaking heat wave.

ERCOT has issued a voluntary conservation notice for Texans to reduce their electricity use on Tuesday afternoon due to extreme temperatures and the anticipation of another day of record-setting demand for power. The agency said they are not under emergency conditions and that voluntary conservation is a widely used tool to help lower demand during times of peak usage, typically in the late afternoon and early evenings -- the hottest part of the day. Texans are urged to help reduce the demand on the grid by following energy-saving tips found at ercot.com/txans.
