(Fri, 29 Jun 2018) The North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) recent <em>2018 Summer Reliability Assessment</em> finds that there are enough resources to meet this summer's projected peak electricity demand in in all areas of the country except the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Anticipated reserve margins—the amount of expected unused electric generating capacity at the time of peak load—range from a little less than 11% in ERCOT to about 33% in PJM Interconnection (PJM).
