ERCOT issues Weather Watch

January 17, 2025

AUSTIN  – ERCOT has issued a Weather Watch from January 20-23 due to forecasted extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. Winter precipitation is also expected across parts of the state. Grid conditions are expected to be normal during an ERCOT Weather Watch.
ERCOT is monitoring conditions closely and will deploy all available tools to manage the grid, continuing a reliability-first approach to operations.
ERCOT encourages everyone to sign up for grid condition notifications through the Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS). Texans can also monitor real-time and extended grid conditions at ercot.com.
