In this issue:

  • Demand exceeded 79,000 megawatts today, new record tomorrow likely: ERCOT currently forecasting over 83,000 megawatts

  • Texas Energy Fund has now lost 20% of its capacity as a second project falls out. It likely won’t be the last one to be canceled.

Join me for a live chat about the new peak record and updates from the PUC Open Meeting tomorrow, Thursday, February 20 from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. CT.
