Seasonal forecasts released by ERCOT indicate the region will have sufficient electric generation available to serve expected peak demand requirements in the upcoming spring and summer. The Seasonal Assessment of Resource Adequacy (SARA) for spring identifies more than 76,600 MW of generation resources available to serve expected peak demand of about 62,000 MW. A preliminary summer SARA estimates peak demand at about 69,000 MW; ERCOT forecasts that nearly 77,000 MW of available generation resources will be available for this summer’s peak.
