Question: Do we still need to conserve electricity?

Answer: No

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) announced in a Feb. 19 news release that no conservation is needed and operations have returned to normal as Texas bounces back from last week’s arctic blast.

ERCOT ended emergency operations last Friday after power outages forced the electrical grid to conserve power during the winter storm.

If you are having issues with your electricity, contact your service provider immediately.
