What if I Lose Power?

Should demand exceed supply, chances are there will be some planned and unplanned power outages across ERCOT. It’s important to stay calm and expect longer-than-normal hold times when reaching out to your utility for updates. For information on how to reach your utility, or if you’re unsure which utility is yours, please visit this page.

What if I do Nothing?

Customers on variable rate plans will probably see higher bills this summer, compared to last. Additionally, if enough energy consumers do nothing, the Texas grid will experience widespread outages as the demand will exceed the supply. We strongly encourage everyone in Texas do do their part, not only to help themselves, but also to help their neighbors.
