Earlier today Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said it has ended emergency conditions and is back to normal operations. Officials say no additional outages were needed overnight to keep power supply and electric demand in balance, and only a few generating units tripped.

It comes after Gov. Abbott said he wants to start with an investigation into the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, which oversees the power grid.
