Power companies are sending out an urgent plea for customers to conserve as temperatures plunge further below freezing for the second night.

"Our natural gas system is operating well under these extreme circumstances. As everyone is trying to keep warm, we are experiencing record usage of natural gas and in order to prevent service interruptions, we ask our customers to conserve energy at this time," said Tal Centers, CenterPoint Energy's Vice President, Texas Gas.

Reliant advised customers to use towels to block drafts by windows and doors, and set their thermostats a couple of degrees lower. Thousands of people in the Houston area experienced power outages during the first night of the arctic freeze, but the ERCOT grid appeared to be holding up.Temperatures in Houston reached below-freezing with single-digit wind chills.

Now, the focus turns to Friday evening, when temperatures are forecasted to remain below freezing and demand is expected to approach peak levels.

So POWER companies telling us the truth about the GRID,meanwhile GregAbbott_TX busing folks across state lines in the middle of the freeze Christmas early morning •18 outside & y’all wanna say he WON election…

My light bill get conserved so why should I do the same

Buy a whole house generator like we did and you’ll have no issues with the (grid) which by the way is pathetic…

This has to be fake new Governor Abbott said the grid and we all know he wouldn’t lie. 😒

Greg Abbott's laws....keeping Texans warm

This is nothing more than a scare tactic headline. It literally says “as ERCOT grid holds steady”. That means there isn’t a power issue.

Negative. You lobbied a bill that gave you a blank check to double the rates so that you can obtain even more record profits. Greedy

Here we fucking go!!!

Remember when they did nothing and thought the outcome would be different

Fix the damn grid instead of begging people to make unnecessary sacrifices.
