ERCOT Provides New Extended Forecast of Grid Conditions

(Austin, TX) – As part of continued efforts to increase transparency into grid operations, ERCOT today announced a new 6-Day Forecast on the Supply and Demand dashboard that will provide Texans with an extended view of upcoming grid conditions. 

“Like an extended weather forecast, the new 6-Day Forecast dashboard provides an indication of future conditions on the grid for 6 days beyond the current operating day,” says Dan Woodfin, ERCOT Vice President of System Operations. “While the Supply and Demand forecasts may change, as weather forecasts do, the dashboard provides a general “heads-up” on the Supply/Demand trends based on currently known information.”

The Supply and Demand dashboard displays ERCOT system’s current power supply (capacity) and demand using Real-Time data, as well as projected power supply (capacity) and demand from hourly forecasts and other best-available sources.

The 6-Day Forecast Supply and Demand dashboard is accessible from the Grid and Market Conditions page at www.ercot.com
