AUSTIN, Texas — Just a few days after a Weather Watch ended, ERCOT has issued another one for next week.
ERCOT said the grid conditions are normal as it anticipates higher temperatures and higher electrical demand.
A new June peak demand was set on June 19, with a record of 79,304 MWs. According to the Supply and Demand dashboard, ERCOT said there could be a new peak demand record next week.
ERCOT also said there is enough capacity to meet forecasted demand, but it will be monitoring the conditions of the grid closely. It will deploy ways to manage the grid if needed.
You can also get grid condition notifications through the Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS) or monitor the real-time and extended grid conditions on the ERCOT website.
The Weather Watch will be in effect from Sunday, June 25, through Friday, June 30.
