As Texas prepares for an impending winter storm, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued a critical warning about scams exploiting the situation. This advisory comes as the state braces for severe weather conditions expected over the weekend.

ERCOT’s Alert on Scams and Misinformation

ERCOT has alerted the public to beware of scammers posing as representatives of the grid operator. These scammers may use various methods, including misleading messages, to instill fear and confuse residents.

Official Communication Channels

ERCOT has specified that it communicates solely through official channels, which include:

• The ERCOT Official Website

Public Vigilance Needed
