Texas just shattered another electricity demand record — and the grid held strong. With triple-digit heat blasting the state and air conditioners running nonstop, demand hit an all-time high, though ERCOT is still verifying the numbers. The good news? No blackouts, no conservation alerts — thanks to a powerful mix of solar, wind, and battery storage that kept the lights on. Experts credit these clean energy advances for the system’s resilience. Meanwhile, Governor Abbott is pushing data centers to pay more and go off-grid, since ERCOT’s energy-only market lets prices spike when demand surges. As summer heats up, ERCOT urges everyone to check their app or website for real-time grid updates — because staying informed is the best way to stay cool.
