A heatwave will test the Texas power system again this week after power plant failures late Friday caused prices to spike, forcing the grid operator to urge homes and businesses to turn up their air conditioner thermostats to conserve energy.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas , which operates the grid for most of the state, said conditions were normal early Monday and has said repeatedly that it expects to have enough resources to meet demand.
AccuWeather forecast high temperatures in Houston, the biggest city in Texas, would reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday before easing to the low to mid 90s F for the rest of the week. That compares with a normal high of 86 F in the city at this time of year.
