The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said it expects the state’s power grid will meet demands assuming typical winter conditions.

ERCOT’s forecast peak demand is 67,398 megawatts (MW) during the winter season of December 2022 through February 2023, according to its Seasonal Assessment of Resource Adequacy report released on Tuesday (pdf). The estimate is based on average weather conditions at the time of peak demands in the winters of 2007 through 2021.
