Texas faces a potential electricity emergency for the fourth time this month, with ERCOT warning of a possible grid crisis from Friday to Saturday. The state shifts to emergency operations when demand for electricity nears 2.5 gigawatts of available supply. Texas is at heightened risk of power shortages this summer, particularly in the evenings, due to rising electricity consumption, supply constraints, and the vulnerability of power reserves at dusk, which has led to rolling blackouts in past summers.
