Controlled outages involve the process of temporarily cutting power to parts of the state when the demand for electricity is too high for the electric grid to handle. This is done to protect the integrity of the electric grid. This process is not controlled by Discount Power or any other retail electricity provider; it is ordered by ERCOT, who instructs the applicable utilities to implement load shed procedures.
