Resource Adequacy
Resource adequacy is the ability of electric grid operators to supply enough electricity at the right locations, using current capacity and reserves, to meet demand. It is expressed as the probability of an outage due to insufficient capacity.
The ERCOT grid continues to operate under normal conditions, the grid operator said, even as this summer’s peak demand is 4.3% higher than last summer’s.
