Well…yes & no. Yes, the grid was close to record demand today (73,367MW, record: 74,820MW), but we didn’t *avoid* peak DEMAND b/c of new tools…we just stayed out of conservation levels b/c ERCOT increased SUPPLY. This still falls below the *projected* summer peak: 77,144MW
Texas power grid was slated to hit a record high demand w/the heat on Tuesday.
It didn’t happen!
Why?
New strategies & tools used at ERCOT & PUC are increasing capacity & reducing demand.
Result: ERCOT easily met demand as the chart below shows—with 8,000 Megawatts to spare.

To be clear - I called police to help redirect traffic (not for myself, I already had roadside assistance on the way). This is a highway…and a busy one at 8am. Couldn’t put my car in neutral to push it to the shoulder because it was locked up. Was trying to prevent an accident.
