Near triple digit weekend temperatures prompts power grid notice from ERCOT

May 5, 2022 by Willy1550

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is anticipating extreme hot weather in the region Friday, May 6 through Monday, May 9 and may experience larger than normal demand for power.

ERCOT says they will deploy all the tools available to to manage the grid reliably. ERCOT is coordinating closely with the Public Utility Commission, generation resource owners and transmission utilities to ensure they are prepared for the extreme heat. ERCOT has asked power plants across the region to postpone planned outages and to return from outages already in progress in order to serve Texans this weekend.

At this time, ERCOT projects there will be sufficient generation to meet this high demand for electricity.
