Texas power grid sees record-breaking demand during heatwave | Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide

Texas power grid sees record-breaking demand during heatwave The Texas power grid operator on Monday forecast demand would reach a record high over the next week as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners to escape a heatwave settling over the state. High temperatures in Houston were expected to reach 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) on Monday, according to AccuWeather. Although that is only 2 degrees F above the city’s normal high for this time of year, energy traders noted temperatures were expected to hit the 90s every day from July 22-Aug. 31. That unrelenting period of extreme weather caused the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which operates the grid in most of the state, to project power use will reach 74,668 megawatts (MW) on Monday, 74,753 MW on Aug. 1 and 76,908 MW on Aug. 2.
