ERCOT

In part, the answer depends on the weather.

A home builder and an electricity retailer are partnering to install backup power batteries in new homes as Texans brace for potential outages this winter.

ERCOT says conditions this winter could spark extreme cold, but additional power supply and continued weatherization efforts will lower the risk of power outages.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas adopted the rule amid surging demand for power across the state and a growing crypto mining industry in Texas.

Energy experts say Texas' grid is more reliable than it was three years ago — when a massive winter storm knocked out power to millions. But there are still challenges.

Energy experts and local leaders say Houstonians need to start looking at every storm like it might be the big one.

The announcement came soon after a new prediction by the state’s main grid operator that power demands will nearly double by 2030.

Energy and business leaders at Thursday's State of Infrastructure event said there's no "Texas miracle" without water and infrastructure.

Power grid anxiety is nothing new in Texas. But a surge in artificial intelligence data centers is posing a new challenge to an already fragile energy system.

Electricity demand is increasing with rising temperatures, but it’s still maintenance season for power plants, causing a supply crunch.

Amid hotter-than-expected weather, the state’s grid regulator wants plants online and available to supply electricity to meet increased demand.

The massive share of renewable energy on the grid is a positive sign for efforts to combat climate change. It will become ever-more common as solar, wind and battery-storage facilities are added.
