ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for today, Sept. 7, from 5 – 9 p.m. CT. Operating reserves are expected to be low this afternoon due to continued high temperatures, high demand, low wind, and declining solar power generation into the afternoon and evening hours. We request Texas businesses and residents conserve electricity use, if safe to do so. For more information, energy-saving tips, and to sign up for #TXANS emails, visit: bit.ly/3PbaCus. You can monitor grid conditions on ercot.com and the app.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued an EEA 2. We urge all Grayson-Collin EC members to conserve electricity. At this time, there are no controlled outages. We continue to thank you for helping us all do our part in conserving electricity.

From ERCOT // "ERCOT has issued an Energy Emergency Alert 2 (EEA 2) due to low power reserves. There are no controlled outages at this time. Please safely reduce electric use and have a plan to stay safe in case outages become necessary. Visit ERCOT.com for more info."

ERCOT is still asking for conservation if you are safe and able to conserve.

We are aware many of our members are without power. The storm that has blown through both Grayson and Collin Counties caused severe damage to multiple parts of our service area. We had 60 mph wind in northern Collin county as well as strong straight line winds and hail in both counties. At the height of the storm we had approximately 18,000 members without power. Our crews have restored nearly 10,000 members and will continue to work until all are restored. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
