The ERCOT region includes about 200,000 square miles. It is a very diverse area – topographically, climatologically, and demographically. Texas population since 1999 has grown 12.5% (2.4% per year). Figure 41 shows a map of Texas with the population projections by county for 2004 (from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission). ................
