Voluntary Conservation Notice

A Voluntary Conservation Notice is a call for Texans to voluntarily reduce energy usage during peak demand periods, if safe to do so. On days when electric demand is high, ERCOT can issue a Voluntary Conservation Notice to help decrease demand while we deploy available tools to manage the grid reliably.

Conservation is a common tool used throughout the industry to support grid reliability.

Critical Medical Needs Reminder

If you have medical needs, we suggest you contact your local electric utility and notify them. Controlled outages are not expected at this time, but it’s always best to have a plan in place.
