For the fourth day in a row, the Texas grid operator is asking people to conserve how much energy they use this afternoon and evening.

Intense heat is driving up electricity demand, and ERCOT is concerned wind and solar power production could be low.

Most Texans believe cold weather in February 2021 shut down natural gas power plants and froze wind turbines, triggering one of the state's deadliest blackouts. But the true cause was corporate greed, according to a growing number of lawsuits filed across the country.

A note on records: ERCOT's official records are hourly averages, so the new official record will be 83,854MW breaking the one set last Tuesday.
But Max Kanter @ Grid Status records them in 5 min increments; that was 84,029MW today at 4:55CT. Either way, new record set today. #txlege

Texans have shattered another peak demand record, getting very close to 82,000 megawatts. May exceed that tomorrow.

You can see that flatline starting at about 3:00. That's big electric customers reducing their bills with demand response. #txlege #txenergy
