Rolling Outages Create Havoc
A little after 1am this morning ERCOT notified Texans the state is at Level 3 and rolling power outages were happening throughout the state. According to them outages would last 30-45 minutes, unfortunately for some the power went off and has not returned.
“The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) entered emergency conditions and initiated rotating outages at 1:25 a.m. today.
About 10,500 MW of customer load was shed at the highest point. This is enough power to serve approximately two million homes.
Extreme weather conditions caused many generating units – across fuel types – to trip offline and become unavailable.
