    ERCOT officials are once again asking residents and
    government agencies to conserve power use this afternoon
    and evening.

    From a released statement:

    “Due to continued high temperatures, high demand, low
    wind, and declining solar power generation this afternoon,
    operating reserves are expected to be low into the
    afternoon and evening hours. As a result, ERCOT is asking
    Texans to conserve electricity use, if safe to do so,
    today, September 7, from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. CT. ERCOT is
    expecting similar conditions tomorrow and will keep the
    public informed through our communications channels.”
