Demand for power in Texas hit a record high for a sixth time this summer on Monday as homes and business kept air conditioners cranked up to escape a lingering heat wave.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas , which operates the grid for more than 26 million customers representing about 90% of the state's power load, said it has enough resources available to meet soaring demand.
Temperatures in Houston, Texas' biggest city, rose as high as 100.4 F on Monday, according to AccuWeather. After the state hit 11 record highs for demand last summer, ERCOT said usage hit a preliminary 83047 megawatts on Monday, which topped the current all-time high of 82,592 MW on July 18. Monday's demand record will likely be broken again on Tuesday with ERCOT forecasting usage will reach 84,332 MW.
