Pablo Vegas, the CEO of Texas grid operator ERCOT, said supply will be lowest compared to demand around 8 a.m. Thursday. However, about 10,000 megawatts of operating reserves will help keep the lights and heat on, even as demand spikes, according to the ERCOT grid and market conditions .

An arctic blast has enveloped Texas, plunging temperatures well below freezing in many regions of the state. Despite the extreme cold, the state’s electrical grid operator says it has met the higher demand for electricity.

Gov. Greg Abbott made a promise saying the power grid will hold, as some of the coldest temperatures of the year move into Central Texas this week.

The Texas power grid served record-breaking wintertime demand for a second-straight day Thursday. Demand on the grid operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas topped 80.5 gigawatts amid subfreezing temperatures early Thursday.
