Where is the Wind Generated Electricity?

Yesterday was a record day in Texas for electricity demand. At 5pm, consumers used 70,693MW of electricity. Here is a graph showing the demand on an hourly basis for July, 17, 2018.

It is expected that as we continue to experience 100+ degree days, this record will also be broken.

So at 5pm when the maximum demand is experienced, how much electricity are the windmills generating? Here is the graph for the wind generated electricity for July 17, 2018.

Notice that the wind generated electricity peaks at about 5am, when the total demand is minimum! And when total demand is at peak, wind provides about 3750MW of the total 70,963MW demand. That is barely 5% of the demand is being met by wind generated electricity.

Clearly, Texas is going to rely on fossil fuel generated electricity for the foreseeable future. The rate payers in Texas will have to pay for the wind generators as well as the fossil fuel generators to meet demand reliably and consistently.
