Between renewables, storage, and other energy sources, ERCOT leaders hope Texas power grid concerns may soon be a thing of the past, adding that they're confident it'll hold up this summer.Between hurricanes and heat, Texas' grid leaders said they're prepared for this summer.As July approaches, ABC13 met with the head of the state's power grid. We asked how he believes the grid will handle the next few months.

"While we still feel like the days are fairly long in August, we start to see them shorten," Vegas explained. "They're already shortening now.""That being said, we're not forecasting to expect any issues or emergencies or blackouts in August. We just want to be very transparent as we run the probabilities as to where the risk points are, and there's a little bit more risk in August than in the earlier parts of the summer," Vegas said.

ABC was told electric providers are working on infrastructure to handle strong winds. ERCOT also runs through scenarios with emergency leaders about what to do if a hurricane heads our way.
