The Texas grid operator said that there’s the potential for emergency conditions early next week because of a risk of low power reserves.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or Ercot, said it may need to call on generators that are scheduled to be down for maintenance starting Monday, May 20 at 8pm through Wednesday, May 22 at 10 pm to shore up backup supplies, according to a notice posted Thursday.
