The United States has been beset by several extreme weather events this year, and the Texas power grid operator forecast demand would reach a record high over the next week

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Texas power grid operator on Monday forecast demand would reach a record high over the next week as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners to escape a heat wave settling over the state.

High temperatures in Houston were expected to reach 97 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday, according to AccuWeather. Although that is only 2 degrees F above the city’s normal seasonal high, energy traders noted temperatures were expected to hit the 90s every day between July 22 and the end of August.

Millions of Texans were left without power and water for days during a deadly winter storm in February, as ERCOT scrambled to prevent an uncontrolled collapse of the grid after an unusually large amount of generation shut down.
