    EMERGENCY UPDATE: Yesterday, @ERCOT_ISO directed Oncor and other utilities to begin restoring power previously dropped from the electric grid. As a result of the increased generation and stable demand, Oncor has since been able to cease controlled, or rotating, outages.

    EMERGENCY UPDATE: Rotating outages remain in effect at the direction of @ERCOT_ISO because the supply of electricity is lower than demand. It is possible to experience multiple outage rotations. We recognize how unsettling these outages can be and strive to minimize impacts.
