Texas grid operators project confidence despite expectation to break energy demand records
Scorching temperatures and surging artificial intelligence demand will strain the Texas power grid this summer, though local energy officials say they are equipped to keep consumers supplied. Electric Reliability Council of Texas officials forecasted a peak load of roughly 92.2 gigawatts at their June 2 quarterly board meeting. That projection represents a 10.2% year-over-year increase and a 7.8% increase from the state’s previous record demand in 2023.
