Power use in the state of Texas hit an all-time high on June 12 as Texans continue to face high electricity prices amid soaring temperatures.

Power demand exceeded 75 gigawatts at around 5:15 p.m. on June 12, surpassing the previous record of 74.8 gigawatts set in August 2019. The power grid is operating normally and there is enough supply to meet the demand, officials said, according to Bloomberg.
