MISO is preparing for emergency conditions this winter despite projecting 40 GW of excess capacity to meet the forecasted peak in January.

The MISO footprint didn’t come close to its forecasted summertime peak, but ways to improve resource adequacy were on the minds of those at Board Week.

MISO doesn’t expect any challenges meeting demand this fall, announcing that its supply should outpace its relatively tame probable load by about 36 GW.

A call for conservation, higher-than-expected wind energy and lower-than-expected temperatures helped ERCOT avoid taking emergency actions.

ERCOT asked Texans to reduce their electricity usage Thursday and Friday, when the state is expected to see some of the highest temperatures of the year.

ERCOT CEO Bill Magness briefed the Texas Public Utility Commission on his organization’s response to the intense August heat.

SPP set a new record for system demand Monday, Aug. 19, as a heat wave sizzled through the southern Midwest and Great Plains.

Texas power prices bumped up against the market’s cap as the state registered another day of soaring temperatures and demand.

ERCOT registered a new all-time demand peak of 74.5 GW as Texas continued to bake in heat extreme even for the Lone Star State.

Summer has been late to Texas, but it is quickly making up it with triple-digit temperatures that are leading to four-figure prices in the ERCOT market.
