Texas heat: ERCOT issues voluntary conservation notice for tonight

TEXAS - The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has announced a voluntary conservation notice for the entire state.

According to a post on Twitter, Texans are being asked to conserve power, if safe to do so, between the hours of 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. Sunday night.

Officials said the reason for the conservation notice is due to extreme temperatures, continued high demand, and unexpected loss of thermal generation.
