Interesting bit of info from a “reliable source” within the Southern Company this evening:
“With all the heat in the Southeast, it’s creating a lot of demand for energy (air conditioning). Southern Company set a record for peak demand yesterday (Monday) with 39,036 megawatts between 3pm and 4pm Central. That’s more than 980 megawatts higher than the previous record set August 10, 2006. Total generating capacity for the Southern Company system is 42,000 megawatts. ”
Yikes!
