ERCOT set multiple new winter peak demand records last night and this morning.
The record is now 65,731 MW, set between 7 and 8 a.m. this morning. This is significantly higher than the record set during the cold snap earlier this month, which was 62,855 MW.
During this week’s winter weather event, ERCOT had sufficient generation and transmission resources available to keep up with demand.
These numbers are preliminary and subject to change pending final settlement in the ERCOT market.
