This afternoon, six power generation facilities tripped offline resulting in the loss of approximately 2,900 MW of electricity. At this time, all generation resources available are operating. We’re asking Texans to conserve power when they can by setting their thermostats to 78-degrees or above and avoiding the usage of large appliances (such as dishwashers, washers and dryers) during peak hours between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. through the weekend. This is unlikely to be the only electric shortage this year. California ISO, Midcontinent ISO and Texas ERCOT project that peak demand cannot be met without some combination of variable generation and imports starting in the Summer of 2022. NERC: high probability of insufficient resources to meet electricity demand as early as Summer 2022 in parts of US Findings from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC’s) 2021 Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA) indicate there is a high probability of insufficient resources and energy to serve electricity demand, as early as Summer 2022, in many parts of the Western Interconnection.
