ERCOT To End Emergency Conditions, Oncor Works To Restore Power
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said it expects to come out of emergency conditions later this morning.
“There is enough generation on the electric system to allow us to begin to return to more normal operating conditions,” said Senior Director of System Operations Dan Woodfin in a statement.
No additional outages were needed overnight to keep power supply and electric demand in balance.
Oncor expects to have power restored to a substantial number of customers by this evening. About 27,000 outages remain.
As of 7 a.m., Oncor is reporting 11,594 Dallas County residents are without power, while Tarrant County has 9,320. In Collin County, 1,309 remain affected.
