Summer Readiness

• Conservation will be important this summer, especially on days with increased temperatures.
• Make plans now for how you will conserve and save!

What is ERCOT, where does GEUS fit in?

• The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is the electric power grid operator for 85% of the state of Texas.
• GEUS does own generation locally but we are also members of ERCOT.
  • Having local generation and a diverse power portfolio protects GEUS from high market prices.
  • Being a member of ERCOT allows GEUS to buy and sell electricity to ensure the lowest cost possible for our customers.
• GEUS is committed to assisting the rest of the state in the case of an emergency.

Why is this important for me to know?

• As a Community-Owned Public Power Utility, it is always our goal to keep the community informed, engaged and involved.
• Lower-than-normal reserves combined with increased growth and electrical usage, creates the potential for rotating outages.
• As always, GEUS is preparing throughout the utility to be ready to serve.
