In what is becoming an almost daily occurrence, ERCOT issued another appeal for voluntary conservation as the Texas grid operator continues to manage tight conditions during a brutally hot summer.

SPP set a new record for summer peak demand, the first of several that could come this week with a heat dome settled over the Great Plains.

ERCOT has seen its electricity demand explode along with the growth of Texas' population and economy.

ERCOT appears to have set another peak demand record Monday, but if the grid operator’s projections hold out, the mark will be short-lived.
