In multiple notices sent Friday, the agency said they were issuing an Advanced Action Notice and an Outage Schedule Adjustment due to changing conditions and a possible future Emergency Condition of reserve capacity deficiency from 4 p.m. Tuesday until midnight Thursday.

NBC 5 reported the power supply could be tight due to high temperatures and plants that are offline for seasonal maintenance.

The Outage Schedule Adjustment allows ERCOT to delay, cancel, or reschedule a planned outage by an electricity generator.

ERCOT said they were trying to recover about 5,000 MW of lost generation. At this time, ERCOT has not issued a call for conservation.
