A few reminders as we head into Thanksgiving:
-Don't comment on someone's body, even if it looks different than the last time you saw it.
-Don't comment on someone's food choices. Those are inside thoughts.
-Don't assign moral value to food. You don't need to "earn" pie.

[ERCOT @ERCOT_ISO]

(8 AM) CPS Energy crews have reported that ice accumulation on trees has been a common cause of today's weather-related outages. Here's a video of how ice can weigh down trees into nearby power lines.

REMINDER: Call CPS Energy at 210-353-HELP to report a downed power line.

[Michael E. Webber @MichaelEWebber]

So what's the situation in ERCOT?

Whether ERCOT hangs together or not depends on

1) Demand
2) Supply
3) Wires and Poles

My prediction: ERCOT will be fine, but there will be isolated outages.

So let's go through these points. 🧵

[CPS Energy @cpsenergy]

(8:30 PM) We’re aware of an outage affecting customers on the city’s far West Side near the area of Kriewald Rd/Hwy 90.

Our crews are actively investigating the cause of the outage. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
