ERCOT's power conservation period ends amidst scorching heat wave.

ERCOT asked Texans to conserve power due to extreme heat and forecasted record demand. While it did not experience an emergency status, the state's power grid said conditions were tight. The debate over our state's power grid has been a sore spot for years. Some Texans expressed it was understandable for ERCOT to use these conservation notices during the unusually cold winters we saw in recent years. But they wanted to know why the notices are still being issued during our extremely hot summers, which are common in the area.
