ERCOT

Did you know today is National STEM Day? It celebrates science, technology, engineering, and math education and careers. ERCOT is proud to employ STEM professionals who help keep the Texas grid reliable, and we encourage students to explore careers in this field. #NationalSTEMDay

The 2027 ERCOT Innovation Summit will take place on Thursday, April 15, at the Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in Round Rock. Save the date and stay tuned for more information about registration, speakers, and the day’s agenda. The fourth annual Summit will build upon the momentum of previous Summits, propelling innovation forward and continuing to shape the future of the electric grid.

ERCOT released its Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) report for January 2027. This report takes into account potential high demand due to colder weather as well as an expected increase in planned battery energy storage and solar capacity. bit.ly/4AdKhBT

Above-normal temperatures can be expected Monday, but an approaching cold front will bring cooler temperatures throughout the remainder of the week. Scattered rain and thunderstorms are expected to accompany the front, mainly across eastern parts of the state Monday night through Tuesday. ERCOT expects moderate demand with peaks in the lower-50,000- to mid-60,000-megawatt range. Monitor current and extended grid conditions: bit.ly/4yS1K1F
