San Marcos Electric Utility is asking its customers to follow conservation appeals after the Electric Reliability Council of Texas asked for Texans to conserve energy this week.
ERCOT pleaded with Texans to reduce electric use as much as possible through Friday, June 18 with tight grid conditions existing amid a significant number of forced generation outages combined with potential record electric use for the month of June.
“This week the margins are tight but improving each day, with traditional plants coming back online and wind production expected to pick up toward the end of the week,” said Tyler Hjorth, City of San Marcos Interim Utilities Director. “But we are asking our customers to watch for conservation appeals and be prepared in the extremely unlikely event that rolling outages do occur.”
