EAST TEXAS (KLTV) - ERCOT has issued a Voluntary Conservation Notice for 3 - 8 p.m. Aug. 17, due to extreme temperatures, forecasted high demand and lower reserves due to low wind generation.

ERCOT is asking Texans to voluntarily reduce electric use, if safely able to do so. The council said they are not currently in emergency operations.
