THE HOT DRY WEATHER HAS CREATED A HEAVY DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY FOR AIR CONDITIONING AND IRRIGATION SYSTEMS.
NPPD SPOKESMAN MARK BECKER SAYS SO FAR, THEIR SYSTEM IS HANDING THE DEMAND ACROSS NEBRASKA:
POWER1 OC….2100 MEGAWATTS RIGHT NOW :14
BECKER SAYS THE FOURTEEN STATE GRID IS HANDLING THE DEMAND ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY;
POWER2 OC….LAST FEBRUARY :10
IN FEBRUARY, EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER CAUSED SUPPLY ISSUES IN TEXAS THAT LED TO ROLLING BLACKOUTS ACROSS ALL THE STATES IN THE REGION.
