ERCOT summer demand reached 91.1 GW, EIA reports
An October 15 EIA analysis puts ERCOT’s July 22 peak hourly demand at 91.1 GW, above the previous record of 85.5 GW. The comparison describes grid demand, not a change to a household electricity plan.
Texas electricity news: rates, grid & solar updates
Changes in electricity plans, the Texas grid and solar buyback, with the facts behind each update and what they mean for your home. We review official reports, decisions and contract documents before publication.
Each story states its dates and coverage. A new-customer offer does not establish a change to your existing contract, and a grid forecast is not a prediction of an outage at your address.
Latest updates
Green Mountain Solar Max missing from monitored quotes; Solar Credit prices unchanged
Our October 21 check no longer found Renewable Rewards Solar Max 12 in Green Mountain’s public quotes for two Texas ZIP codes. Solar Credit 12 remains listed with unchanged energy prices, export credits and monthly fees.
How we review updates
We check grid and policy news against official reports and decisions, distinguishing observed events, forecasts, proposals and approved changes. We identify the source and geography, explain practical household implications, and state what the evidence does not establish.
For plan updates, we compare saved quotes and contract documents for the same monitored ZIP codes. A refreshed file identifier alone is not a price change. Missing from a monitored catalog does not prove a statewide withdrawal.
Source publication dates, event dates, detection dates and effective dates are separate. City tags indicate a verified local connection, which may be limited to a named ZIP code. Monitoring alerts are reviewed before publication.
