The future of Texas power
23 Sep 2024
News
In May 2024, Texas set a daily power consumption record for the month six times. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) anticipates that this trend will continue, with predictions of above-normal temperatures and potentially below-normal rainfall straining the state's power grid as residents and businesses crank up their air conditioning. With a rapidly growing population and economy, it is vital that Texas remains powered.
To keep the state’s electric grid running smoothly, ERCOT forecasts demand to ensure there are no disruptions or shortages in electric supply. However, forecasting energy demand is as complicated as it is essential. Grid operators use variables from numerous sources and, even so, revisions are necessary.
