"Because the quantity of ERCOT’s load shed was so extraordinary, its requirements took up every non-critical electric circuit available," Sargent said in the memo. "This is why the outages were not rotated. There are no remaining circuits to rotate the outage to, and customers experiencing outages cannot currently be brought back online without violating ERCOT directives and compromising the grid. Therefore, customers are seeing much longer outages than anticipated as we do all we can to comply with ERCOT’s direction. We are aware of the frustration this has caused."
The state corporation in control of Texas' electric grid asked Austin Energy and other providers Tuesday morning to shed more power, underscoring the gravity of the on-going electricity situation, but local officials warned that doing so could mean pulling the plug on circuits used to power critical infrastructure such as hospitals and emergency response stations.
They may have to turn off the circuits for emergency infrastructure," Pool said. "We have literally shed everything that we can."
In Austin, nearly half are without power
The request to the city to shed more power came as nearly 220,000 Austin homes were without energy. That's about 43% of the utilities' customer base.
