DALLAS (AP) — Operators of the state’s electric grid have urged conservation after freezing, icy weather led to power outages and forced some North Texas schools to call off classes. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas asked consumers to limit power use Monday morning amid concerns over high demand. Oncor reported about 7,600 homes and businesses without electricity, mainly in the Tyler and Dallas-Fort Worth areas.
