"Today - an all-time winter electricity usage record will be broken," the IEC said in a statement. It is estimated that tonight the consumption will be about 14,300 megawatts.
Meanwhile, since the beginning of the week, there has been an increasing trend in demand for electricity against the backdrop of the cold weather. Crews deal with weather damage to the power grid as a result of low temperatures, congestion on the lines, and the collapse of trees.
