Currently also predicting more demand than capacity today: https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/supplyanddemand

So based on that[1], it looks like the issue is that solar and wind capacity is forecasted to dip right around the time demand peaks? And there's basically no battery storage available (4,835 MW of maximum storage output vs the 61,549 MW maximum combined output for wind+solar)?
