The state just saw its hottest December on record since 1889. The average daily minimum and maximum temperatures in Texas have both increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last 125 years. In May, ERCOT asked Texans to conserve power during a heat wave that coincided with six power plant outages.Ĭlimate change has made Texas heat both hotter and longer lasting. In the U.S., officials have warned about possible power outages this summer due to record heat and demand for power. Features include an extra deep 9- large bowl, sleek corner radiuses for easy cleaning, and rear drain placement for additional under-counter space. In Japan, officials asked residents in late June to conserve electricity during unusually hot weather. The Lexicon Quartz 7030 offset double bowl offers a cutting-edge design with a complete package that includes matching drains and stylish bottom grids. Power grids around the world are facing tests this summer as climate change has led to hotter temperatures and Russia’s war with Ukraine has strained fuel supplies. If the grid’s conditions still don’t improve, ERCOT would then implement controlled, rotating power outages, in which Texans in some areas could lose power for up to 45 minutes at a time.

The next step is for the grid operator to tell the public the grid could be at risk of not having enough power to meet demand and ordering Texans to cut back electricity usage.

The first precaution is to ask the public to voluntarily cut back electricity usage.
