ERCOT has issued a “Conservation Appeal” for the state of Texas due to the summer heat and not a lot of wind is blowing today.
They have energy-saving tips!

Note they have left off not charging your Electric Vehicle which is equal to having two air conditioning compressors running in your back yard or equal to plugging in twelve refrigerators.
Perhaps if we didn’t have Electric Vehicles then the grid wouldn’t be stressed to the limit?

The Department of Energy (DOE) declared a power emergency in Texas on Thursday night amid a period of elevated demand.
The DOE’s order declaring an emergency allows the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the state’s grid operator, to disregard particular pollution standards in order to generate enough power, and the order will remain in effect until 9 p.m Friday, local time. The declaration follows elevated temperatures in the region that have driven electricity demand high enough to push the ERCOT grid to its limit.

I saw another article that stated they were allowing texas to have epa violation to produce more electricity but the article has since been deleted
