With Texas electricity consumption far surpassing the state’s current power generation, local controlled outages will be longer than previously planned. Customers currently experiencing an outage should be prepared to be without power for at least the rest of today. #houwx 1/5 
About 1.162M customers are without power due to the request for reduced load, and 62,500 customers due to other storm related events. To assist & limit more outages, customers with power are asked to reduce their electricity use to the lowest level possible. #houwx 2/5
.@ERCOT_ISO declared a statewide power generation shortfall emergency early today & asked us to reduce load through controlled outages. As a delivery company, we’re required to comply with the directive and cannot address the current capacity shortage. #houwx 3/5
We greatly appreciate your patience as we follow @ERCOT_ISO’s directive to reduce load & implement controlled outages across Greater Houston to help reach a balance between power supply & demand across the state. #houwx #hounews 4/5
As soon as generating capacity is brought back online & @ERCOT_ISO permits, we will deploy resources to restore customers. However, if additional generating capacity goes offline, it would negatively impact the electric system, resulting in additional customer outages. #houwx 5/5
