Electricity peak demand records broken

There were new all-time peak demand records set in the  Southwest Power Pool  (SPP) and in  ERCOT  yesterday (July 19). The SPP reached 53,243 MW at 16:59. ERCOT reached an hourly average of 79,621 MW during hour 17. Kudos to both markets for holding up well!
