18 December 2022 – TGCRVOAD is Raising its Activation Level to Level 1 – Situational Awareness for All Counties in our Service Area.
A blast of arctic air is headed our way. Strong winds will drive the “feels like” temperature into single digits. The frigid air will arrive sometime on Thursday, 22 DEC 2022, and temperatures will drop dramatically below freezing across the entire TGCRVOAD service area.
While Texas ERCOT expects sufficient generation to meet forecasted demand, memories from Valentine’s Day 2021 drive us to prepare for the worst.
TGCRVOAD Activities
- The TGCRVOAD Chair and Vice-Chair will monitor the situation and provide updates as required.
- There are no conference calls scheduled at this time.
TGCRVOAD Members and Partner
- The Members and Partners of the TGCRVOAD should monitor the weather situation at (https://www.weather.gov/hgx/) and Space City Weather (spacecityweather.com), and the electricity demand and supply situation at (https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards).
- Determine if there are unmet needs related to the cold temperatures in your area.
