- The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) said on Thursday that it is prepared to meet power demand on Friday as a heat dome moving across the Southern states is expected to increase temperatures in its footprint.

The forecasted baseline peak demand for Friday is 29,000 megawatts (MW), NYISO said in a statement.

NYISO’s latest summer readiness assessment reports 40,937 MW of available power resources statewide, with 3,159 MW accessible through emergency procedures to maintain grid reliability if needed.

New York recorded a record peak of 33,956 MW at the end of a week-long heat wave in July 2013, the operator added.
