Texans asked to conserve energy to protect the power grid for the second time in a week
Here we go again. Texas is again urging conservation amid an energy spike and uncertainty around whether the grid can meet increased demand. These conservation alerts are certainly getting more attention statewide following the 2021 winter storm blackouts that put millions out in the cold without power. Yet, as the Texas population grows and the summers get hotter, the demands on the grid during heatwaves are only going to increase, something the Energy Reliability Council of Texas is going to have to figure out quickly.

Texans have been asked to turn up their thermostats and avoid using large appliances from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday. The power grid operator said it does not expect rolling blackouts.
