Be cautious of false information and entities impersonating ERCOT during this winter storm. ERCOT does not send text messages to share information on grid conditions. ERCOT communicates grid condition information through our official communication channels, including our website (https://t.co/4lhispuJsn), Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS), Emergency Alerts, social media channels, and the ERCOT mobile app.

[ERCOT @ERCOT_ISO]

TXANS Update—1/24/2026: An ERCOT Weather Watch goes into effect today through January 27 due to the winter storm conditions across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. Grid conditions are expected to be normal. ERCOT will continue monitoring weather conditions closely and utilize all available tools and resources to maintain grid reliability. A Weather Watch is not a call for conservation. Sign up for TXANS emails: https://t.co/32q5lLLBEe
