ERCOT conservation appeal expires after Texans projected to use more energy than grid can supply

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A six-hour appeal to Texans to conserve energy on Friday expired.

For the fourth time in nine days, residents were being asked by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to conserve energy.

This comes as Houstonians braved another hot day with highs climbing up above 100 degrees.

On Friday, ERCOT issued the conservation appeal from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. due to "low wind-power generation and high demand," adding that businesses and residents should only cut back on energy if it's safe to do so.

On top of this, Houstonians had also already been asked to voluntarily limit outdoor water usage due to the ongoing intense heat and lack of significant rainfall.

A 23-day streak of temperatures over 100 degrees came to an end on Tuesday, coming just one day shy of tying with the 2011 record. Still, 100-degree weather is forecasted to return after the one-day break this week.
