Spike in natural gas demand in Texas this weekend

Post by dan_s »

From my electricity company:
"We have higher than normal temperatures predicted for this weekend. ERCOT is anticipating extreme hot weather in the region from Friday, May 6th through Monday, May 9th, and may experience a larger than normal demand for power. On May 3rd, ERCOT issued an Advance Action Notice (AAN) due to a possible future reserve capacity deficiency beginning Friday, May 6, 2022, through Saturday, May 7, 2022. At this time, ERCOT projects there will be sufficient generation to meet this high demand for electricity.

May 3, 2022, 9:32:47 AM, ERCOT issued an OCN for Extreme Hot Weather with forecasted temperatures to be above 94°F in the North Central and South Central weather zones, from Friday, May 6, 2022, until Monday, May 9, 2022."
