With a heat advisory in effect and Tuesday clocking in as the fifth consecutive day with a high of at least 104°, the group that operates Texas’ electric grid is urging people to conserve energy instead of reaching to turn up the air conditioning. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued an Electricity Emergency Alert Level 1 and said it expected the high temperatures to result in record electricity demand Tuesday. An EEA Level 1 means operating reserves have dropped below 2,300 mega-watts and aren’t expected to recover within 30 minutes. When that happens, grid operators “call on all available power supplies, including power from other grids, if available.” EEA Level 1 is the least severe. At EEA Level 3, people can expect rotating outages.


It's hot as balls in LA, MS, and AL as well, yet, we don't seem to have these problems.

From a chron.com article today:

quote:

Electricity prices reached $9,000 per megawatt hour at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. At a 8 a.m., prices were about $19 per megawatt hour.


Looks like deregulation is going well!!

Those of us that work during the day just crank that AC to a higher temp when we leave.
