ERCOT issued a weather watch for June 25-30 due to higher temperatures forecast starting this Sunday and higher electrical demand.
Network conditions are expected to be normal from Sunday June 25 to Friday June 30. In the meantime, they continue to monitor the extreme heat situation and will deploy all available tools to manage the network.
ERCOT set a new peak demand record for the month of June with 79,304 MW on the 19th. ERCOT’s 6-day supply and demand panel shows the possibility of a new peak demand all-time record next week. Dashboards will update in real time as the week progresses.
There is currently enough capacity to meet anticipated demand. Last year, ERCOT set 11 new peak demand records, surpassing 80 GW for the first time. The current record of 80,148 MW was set on July 20, 2022.
