Grid operator verifying communications channels prior to summer
AUSTIN, TX, May 26, 2021 – As part of ERCOT’s aggressive pre-summer preparation activities, the grid operator will test its automated emergency grid conditions communication system this evening, Wednesday, May 26, beginning at 7 p.m.
No action is required.
What does this mean?
During this time, test messages will be deployed and/or sent to multiple ERCOT communications channels at the beginning and end of the test, including:
