ERCOT ISSUES CALL FOR VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION MONDAY


THE ELECTRIC RELIABILITY COUNCIL OF TEXAS ISSUED A CALL FOR VOLUNTARY
CONSERVATION AS LOW POWER RESERVES ARE PROJECTED.

Taylor, Texas, Wednesday, December 8, 2021. (Tom Fox/The Dallas Morning
News)(Tom Fox)




Update: 8:19 p.m. Monday to include a link to the latest story.

AUSTIN — The operator of Texas’ electric grid issued a call to the public for
energy conservation Monday as excessive heat could lead to an energy emergency.

At 9 p.m. Sunday, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a watch
indicating that it has projected a shortage in energy reserves Monday “with no
market solution available,” according to an active operations message posted to
the ERCOT website. ERCOT is also calling for voluntary energy conservation.

ERCOT stopped short of indicating power might be cut off and said that “no
system-wide outages are expected,” according to a news release.

The watch is a notification preceding an “energy emergency alert,” which is a
more severe alert indicating ERCOT might order operations to shut down or be
limited at large scale electric users such as manufacturing facilities or big
box stores. Those alerts range from calls for conservation to rolling blackouts.

to come

A 9:30 p.m. projection indicated Texas could smash its all-time electricity
demand Monday with 80 gigawatts of use projected in the afternoon. That is above
what ERCOT predicted the summer demand peak would hit in a seasonal preparedness
report.



The tightest hour will be between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. during which ERCOT is
predicting that wind energy will only be producing at roughly 8% of its
capacity. At that time, solar power will be producing at 81% capacity, but makes
up a much smaller share of Texas’ total energy generation.

Dispatchable energy, which consist of mainly natural gas power plants, will be
relied on to generate the bulk of electricity during those peak demand hours.

The alert comes as temperatures in Dallas are expected to reach and possibly top
105 degrees Monday. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat
warning for the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area that sweeps across a vast swath of
the state. Isolated high temperatures could reach as high as 112 degrees, the
weather service said.

The heat wave is driving increased electric use and could lead to tight energy
conditions all week.
