JUST IN: Texas is set to come close to all-time records for electricity demand today, with temperatures across the state forecast to close in on 100 degrees.
The state's grid operator,If sustained for a full hour, that would exceed the record set last Thursday of 75,124 megawatts.
So far, ERCOT has not called on residents to conserve power, saying it has enough generation to meet demand."ERCOT continues to monitor the weather forecast and will deploy all available tools to manage the grid reliably," a spokesperson said. With temperatures only expected to rise through the week, the strain on Texas's power grids is only likely to increase.
