(Reuters) – Demand for power in Texas hit a record high on Thursday for the third time this week and the tenth time this summer as homes and businesses powered their air conditioners to escape a lingering heat wave.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said power use reached a preliminary 84,515 megawatts (MW), which topped the most recent record high of 83,961 MW hit on Wednesday.
