(Reuters] – Texas will test its power grid again as another warm weekend blankets Texas. Homes and businesses are encouraged to run their ACs.

Electric Reliability Council of Texas – which runs the grid across most of Texas – has stated it anticipates having enough electricity to fulfill demand.

AccuWeather had predicted high temperatures in Houston (the largest city in Texas) would rise to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (36.7 Celsius), before falling to the low- to mid 90s F during the rest of this week. This is compared to the normal city high of 86 F at this time.

Extreme weather reminded Texans about the freezing February 2021, which left millions without electricity and water during a severe storm. ERCOT tried to keep the grid from collapsing after a unusually high amount of generation had been shut off.

ERCOT forecasted that the peak power demand at 71.152 megawatts would be reached on Monday, May 16,

It would smash the grid’s May record of 70.703 MW, but it will be far below its all-time high of 74.820 MW, set in August 2019.

A megawatt of power can supply approximately 1,000 homes in the United States on any given day. However, it is only 200 homes that are available on hot Texas summer days.

The ERCOT North hub in Dallas saw its next-day price jump to $195 per megawatt-hour (MWh), a six month high, on Friday.

ERCOT North prices were reported by energy traders to have been around $220 per megawatt for Monday.
