Entergy asking customers to limit power use

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana – Entergy is asking customers to limit electricity use on Saturday, Sept. 15 until further notice. We are making this request as required by our reliability coordinator, MISO. Forced generation outages, above-normal temperatures and higher than forecasted load are causing a critical shortage of electricity in the mid-United States region. This voluntary action by customers will hopefully result in a sizeable reduction in load on our electric system. We appreciate our customers’ help in meeting power needs during this time by turning off all non-essential lighting, appliances and electronics as well as raising thermostats to 78 degrees. If possible, reduce use of water heaters, electric ovens, washing machines and dryers. This appeal for assistance does not apply to those with special medical needs. MISO is making these requests to utilities throughout the mid-south. If this situation does not improve, the next step will be to enact generation and transmission emergency load-reduction plans, which may result in a temporary loss of electricity for customers on a rotating basis. This would be a last resort and we prefer to reduce electricity demand without taking this step.

Nothing to do with Entergy. It’s basically MISO who regulates all utility power asking and Entergy saying yea sure we will ask

Dont Mess with Texas Power
Bottom line: Texas has its own grid to avoid dealing with the feds.

You gotta be really fat to find 78 degrees with low humidity uncomfortable.
My disdain for fatties is well chronicled but this is idiotic. I hope for your sake it was troll attempt that just sucks.

Yes, maybe there is a forced outage somewhere, BUT all units/companies have to have a 10% back up. And yes, 35 years in the field.

We had to do this in Houston this summer. Every other day for like 5 hours from 2 pm to 7 pm they asked people to turn up the thermostat to 78.
And it was only a couple weeks we were supposed to do this.
It wasn’t a big deal.

Was quite comfortable in my house. Saw this dropped thermostats 5 degrees. Now I’m even more comfy with a blanket on.
