Four days straight, no power, no water, she said.
Just like everyone else, Monday morning was a fun snow day, as she and her family played outside and enjoyed the Houston snow. I think it didn t get real until we lost power, she said. We were like Ok, it s going to come back , but it never did.
By Friday morning, ERCOT, the Texas electric grid manager, was still under a level 3 alert and asked consumers to continue to conserve energy if they had power, though officials reported there were no added outages overnight Thursday.
No additional outages overnight, although a few generating units tripped. Energy consumption is much higher this morning compared to yesterday, but there is sufficient power to serve load over morning peak. Grid operator expects to come out of emergency conditions later today. ERCOT (@ERCOT ISO) February 19, 2021
