Extreme weather in Texas is a reminder of the February freeze in 2021
TEXAS - Power use in Texas was on track to break the record for the month of May for a second time this week on Friday and could top that again over the Memorial Day weekend as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners to escape a heat wave.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas , which operates most of the state's power grid for 27 million customers, said the system was currently operating normally with enough supply available to meet expected demand all week. One megawatt can usually power about 800 homes on a normal day but as few as 250 on a hot summer day in Texas.
That comfortable level of supply assumes nothing changes. But, things always change -- power plants and transmission lines shut and return to service, weather forecasts change and storms cause outages.
