After 2021, we’re all on edge in North Texas. This online tracker can help you know what’s going on with your power.

Chances are increasing that a winter storm will bring snow, ice, and plunging temperatures to millions across Texas this week.

ERCOT, which operates the Texas power grid, has issued an advisory for "extreme cold weather" in Texas. TEXAS, USA — The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued an advisory for "extreme cold weather" ahead of the expected winter storm in Texas this weekend.

As of 4:30 p.m. on, ERCOT's dashboard is reporting normal conditions. Currently, the grid is operating with 18,817 megawatts in reserves. Current energy makeup is: Wind — 24,919 MW (44.4%). Natural Gas — 18,405 MW (32.8%). Coal and Lignite — 6,197 MW (11.0%). Nuclear — 5,115 MW (9.1%). Solar — 1,749 MW (3.1%).

It started like a typical North Texas “bundle up” forecast and turned into a statewide emergency that Texans will be measuring winters against for decades.

Industry surveys reveal a growing disconnect between when data centers expect power and when utilities can provide it.

ERCOT says the Texas grid will easily meet expected demand during this weekend's powerful cold snap. CPS and Austin Energy say they're ready, too.
