Official account of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). ERCOT is the independent system operator for 90 percent of the state's electric load.
Today and every day, we are thankful for the brave men and women who served in our nation’s armed forces and protected our freedoms. Thank you, veterans!
Como parte de nuestros continuos esfuerzos de comunicación para aumentar la transparencia sobre el estado de la red eléctrica, ERCOT ha mejorado su Sistema de Avisos y Notificaciones de Texas (TXANS) para ofrecer al público una fuente única de notificaciones sobre la red. Más información: https://t.co/FnGiLt44IR
TXANS es la herramienta que utiliza ERCOT para informar al público sobre los fenómenos meteorológicos previstos y las condiciones de la red en las que la demanda potencial podría ser mayor. Las notificaciones de TXANS incluyen Alerta meteorológica, Aviso de ahorro voluntario, Solicitud de ahorro y, ahora también, Alertas de emergencia energética (EEA), que avisan al público si ERCOT entra en modo de operaciones de emergencia. Si ya está suscrito a TXANS, no es necesario que haga nada para seguir recibiendo las notificaciones. Los suscriptores actuales de TXANS pueden actualizar su información de contacto y sus preferencias de notificación (correo electrónico, SMS o ambos) iniciando sesión en el portal de TXANS con una dirección de correo electrónico registrada.

As part of our continued communications efforts to increase transparency into grid conditions, ERCOT has enhanced its Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS) to provide the public a single source for grid notifications. Read more: https://t.co/CXbIimCqKl
TXANS is the tool ERCOT uses to inform the public on forecasted weather events and grid conditions where potential demand on the grid could be higher. TXANS notifications include Weather Watch, Voluntary Conservation Notice, Conservation Appeal, and now also Energy Emergency Alerts (EEAs), which notify the public if ERCOT enters emergency operations. If you are a current TXANS subscriber, no action is needed to continue receiving notifications. Current TXANS subscribers can update their contact information and notification preferences (email, text, or both) by logging in to the TXANS portal using a registered email address.

This week begins with higher rain chances and cooler temperatures, with drier and warmer weather forecast to return by midweek. A cold front will arrive on Thursday, allowing temperatures to return to near-normal levels with additional rain chances possible into the weekend. ERCOT expects moderate demand with peaks in the lower- to upper-50,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/TvH80Up0ik
Did you know today is National STEM Day? It celebrates science, technology, engineering, and math education and careers. ERCOT is proud to employ STEM professionals who help keep the Texas grid reliable, and we encourage students to explore careers in this field. #NationalSTEMDay
The 2027 ERCOT Innovation Summit will take place on Thursday, April 15, at the Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in Round Rock. Save the date and stay tuned for more information about registration, speakers, and the day’s agenda. The fourth annual Summit will build upon the momentum of previous Summits, propelling innovation forward and continuing to shape the future of the electric grid.
ERCOT released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for January 2027. This report takes into account potential high demand due to colder weather as well as an expected increase in planned battery energy storage and solar capacity. https://t.co/lnI6p1mEed
LPPC President @EnergyFalcone opens up day 2 of LPPC’s Members Conference.
We’re now underway with a discussion on Supply & Demand dynamics: moderated by @tbroylesaplin CEO, @NESpower, Josh West of @TEAPublicPower, Chad Seely of @ERCOT_ISO and Jesse Noffsinger of @McKinsey on how regulators are dealing with load growth from hyperscalers and the impact on capacity, reserve margins, and pricing across regional markets.

Temperatures will be warmer than normal in the days ahead but should decrease some into the second half of the week as widespread rain chances take shape in the Thursday through Saturday time frame. ERCOT expects moderate demand with peaks in the upper-50,000- to mid-60,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/Cdj1QbijEB
After a cooler start to the week, a gradual warming trend will take shape in the coming days as highs return to the 80s for much of the state. Rain chances remain limited, mainly confined to Far South Texas through midweek and Far West Texas by late week. ERCOT expects moderate demand with peaks in the mid-50,000- to lower-60,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: https://t.co/GxhoNISyQ5
Above-normal temperatures and added humidity can be expected for much of this week. Rain chances will gradually increase in the west and northwest regions before a cold front arrives in the Thursday-Friday time frame and cools temperatures down for the weekend. ERCOT expects high demand in the first part of the week followed by moderate demand later in the week, with peaks in the upper-50,000- to lower-80,000-megawatt range.
