Despite the advisory, ERCOT officials said grid conditions are expected to remain normal, and there is currently no risk of an energy emergency.
ERCOT said it is closely monitoring the situation and will use all available tools to manage the state’s power grid, emphasizing a reliability-first approach.
An ERCOT weather watch is an early alert for weather events that could increase electricity demand and reduce reserves, according to the organization.
Officials stressed that no immediate action is required from the public but noted that reducing energy use during peak times can help lower grid demand and save on utility bills.
