With this comes a surge in electricity use, mostly from cooling systems. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is predicting a historic demand of over 80,000 MW , putting immense pressure on the state’s power grid. Texas heat waves often result in slim reserve margins, where supply barely meets demand.
