Texas’s grid operator said Tuesday that it expects power demand to shatter forecasts for a second day in a row, an update that comes as temperatures continue to soar well past 100 degrees in many parts of the state.

According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, which oversees the grid for roughly 90% of Texas, demand is projected to reach 86,120 megawatts on Tuesday.

ERCOT has so far shattered demand forecasts 10 times in a row, prompting some of the biggest reliability concerns since Winter Storm Uri, the 2021 storm that killed 246 Texans and left millions without power, though ERCOT said Tuesday that it expects to have sufficient supplies to meet demand.

The record-high projection comes just two days after ERCOT called on consumers to limit their power use over the weekend and urged residents to limit the use of all large appliances and reduce power consumption between the hours of 7 and 10 p.m. to avoid outages and threats to capacity.
