Demand for power in Texas hit a record high on Wednesday as homes and business cranked up air conditioners during a lingering heatwave, according to data from the state's power grid operator.
ERCOT said power use reached a preliminary 81,351 megawatts at 6 p.m. CST , topping the grid's previous record of 80,828 MW set on June 27.Meteorologists at AccuWeather forecast high temperatures in Houston, the biggest city in Texas, would hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit almost every day from July 12-19. That compares with a normal high of 94 F for this time of year.
Texas residents have worried about extreme weather since a deadly storm in February 2021 left millions without power, water and heat for days as ERCOT scrambled to prevent a grid collapse after the closure of an unusually large amount of generation.
