MISO expects to call on load-modifying resources this summer despite estimates it will have about 149 GW of projected capacity on hand.

ERCOT said Tuesday that it confronts a historically low 8.1% planning reserve margin next summer in the face of continued high electricity demand from oil and gas producers in West Texas and the cancellation of several generation projects.

ERCOT said an "exceptional" response by generators and a lack of extreme temperatures helped it meet record demand this summer without issuing alerts.

FERC has denied requests to shut down debate on whether PJM’s Capacity Performance construct should make room for seasonal resources.

NYISO experienced a peak load of 31,293 MW on July 2, the highest demand so far this summer but falling far short of the all-time peak of 33,956 MW.

The ERCOT system set a new record for June peak demand last week, reaching 69 GW on June 27.

ERCOT will have more breathing room as it prepares for record demand this summer after an additional 525MW of generation recently came online in Texas.

While MISO says it’s ready for a warmer-than-normal summer, officials cautioned that operators will likely lean on demand response (DR) resources to manage loads during the season.

State and consumer representatives asked for education sessions during the first meeting of PJM’s new Summer-Only Demand Response Senior Task Force.

ERCOT’s summer peak demand is expected to reach 85.01 GW by 2027, a 22.36% increase over this summer’s peak.
