Triple-digit temperatures continue to roast Texas, resulting in record electricity demand for ERCOT.

Sweltering heat has helped ERCOT finally set a new all-time peak demand mark after several close calls during the preceding week.

ERCOT has issued its third operating condition notice since April, warning of extreme, hot temperatures in several of its weather zones this weekend.

New England is not facing the same warnings as other regions this summer, but severe heat could still force ISO-NE into emergency actions, the RTO said.

Drought, wildfires, plant retirements and transmission outages have elevated the risk of supply shortfalls in the West, Texas, MISO and SPP, NERC said.

PJM expects to have enough power supply to meet its summer electricity needs, according to the RTO's own analysis.

SPP expects to have enough generating capacity to meet regional demand this summer, but it has already issued the season's first resource advisory.

The heat, both weather-related and political, continues to build on ERCOT following another stress test this weekend.

Hot weather that one weatherman called “categorically insane” has settled over Texas and led ERCOT to call on generators to postpone planned outages.

NPCC predicted adequate resources to meet the needs of customers this summer, despite drops in capacity and a rise in expected demand since 2021.
