HOUSTON (Reuters) - A drop in wind generation late on Tuesday, coupled
with colder weather, triggered an electric emergency that caused the
Texas grid operator to cut service to some large customers, the grid
agency said on Wednesday.

Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said a decline in wind
energy production in west Texas occurred at the same time evening
electric demand was building as colder temperatures moved into the
state.
