Power demand in Texas failed to hit a new all-time high on Monday due to less hot weather, but will likely break that record later this week as homes and businesses keep air conditioners cranked up to escape a lingering heatwave.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas , which operates the grid for more than 26 million customers representing about 90% of the state's power load, has said it has enough resources available to meet demand.
After power use soared to 74,914 megawatts on Sunday, which topped the prior all-time high of 74,820 MW in August 2019, ERCOT forecast demand would reach 75,201 MW on Tuesday, 75,264 MW on Thursday, 76,293 MW on Friday and 76,475 MW on June 20.
