Too cold for Texas? Electricity demand and capacity in ERCOT during cold-snap of Feb '21
Ydo Wexler, Geert Scholma | February 17, 2021The last several days were some of the coldest on record in Texas, and with power out for a quarter of households in the state at times, it brought back memories from a decade ago, when a similar thing occurred for similar reasons.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Energy Markets
Geert Scholma | April 14, 2020As of April 13th, 2020, about a third of the worldwide population currently lives in some form of quarantine or curfew. Many shops have been closed, as well as bars, restaurants, hotels, theatres, schools, offices, museums, libraries, and attractions. This has had a significant attenuating impact on electricity demand, which has been the topic of several articles. The most common type of analysis that has been performed compares historical load ratios either week over week or year over year. However, there are many more factors that need to be taken into account to get an accurate estimation for the impact of lockdowns on regional electricity demand.
