ERCOT CEO Bill Magness briefed the Texas Public Utility Commission on his organization’s response to the intense August heat.

SPP set a new record for system demand Monday, Aug. 19, as a heat wave sizzled through the southern Midwest and Great Plains.

Texas power prices bumped up against the market’s cap as the state registered another day of soaring temperatures and demand.

ERCOT registered a new all-time demand peak of 74.5 GW as Texas continued to bake in heat extreme even for the Lone Star State.

Summer has been late to Texas, but it is quickly making up it with triple-digit temperatures that are leading to four-figure prices in the ERCOT market.

ERCOT staff and stakeholders are preparing to bring a first set of real-time co-optimization policy principles to the Technical Advisory Committee.

NYISO said it expects to have adequate resources on hand to meet slightly above-normal demand this summer, with 42,056 MW of capacity available.

ERCOT said an "exceptional" response by generators and a lack of extreme temperatures helped it meet record demand this summer without issuing alerts.

NYISO experienced a peak load of 31,293 MW on July 2, the highest demand so far this summer but falling far short of the all-time peak of 33,956 MW.
