Spot power prices in Texas for Friday crashed from a record high as consumers responded to requests from the state’s grid operator to turn down their air conditioners and take other steps to save energy during a brutal heat wave. High temperatures in Houston hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) on Thursday and were expected to top that on Friday and come close to triple digits over the weekend before slipping to the mid 90s next week, according to AccuWeather. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) called on Texans to conserve energy on Thursday and Friday by limiting the use of large appliances and turning the thermostat on their air conditioners up a few degrees.
