How To Save Energy In Texas
Sometimes the state’s electricity grid operator (ERCOT) will ask Texans to voluntarily conserve electricity when demand outpaces the available supply.
When that happens, we reach out to let you know what time periods to dial back usage to help everyone have reliable service. Here are a few simple ways you can help:
Raise your thermostat a few degrees, and even higher while you’re away.
Run ceiling fans counter-clockwise while you’re in a room to keep cool.
Close window blinds to block out heat and keep cool air inside.
Avoid larger appliances when possible, especially dyers and ovens that emit heat.
