Texas grid well-prepared for fall, winter electricity demand, ERCOT says

The electric grid held up well during this summer — even with multiple demand records broken in early August — and that is expected to carry over into the future, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages about 90 percent of the state’s power load. The continued growth of wind farms and natural gas-fired power plants has outpaced the state’s ballooning population and electricity demand, at least until older, uneconomic coal plants start retiring.
