Extreme temperatures across Texas are pushing the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to call on Texans to help conserve electricity, Monday, July 11 between 2-8 p.m.

They have also issued a “projected reserve capacity shortage” during this time, and although they don’t predict any electricity shortages-we know what happened last time, and we can’t go back down that road again. See below Dallas Morning News has provided ways to quickly prepare in case of an emergency.
