Texas is feeling an early heat wave. It’s a sign of a long, hot summer to come
- ERCOT anticipates that Texas power usage will reach a peak exceeding 84 gigawatts in the early evening on Wednesday amid an unusually intense May heat wave.
- This surge follows a ridge of high pressure causing record heat and temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in many areas from Tuesday through Thursday.
- Demand could surpass May’s previous record of 77 gigawatts but remain below the all-time high of 85.5 gigawatts set last August.
- ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas noted that the addition of resources such as solar power and battery storage played an important role in fulfilling electricity demand during the previous summer.
- ERCOT expects the grid to maintain reliability without issuing a Weather Watch, signaling sufficient supply despite tight conditions near 9 p.m. Daily.
