Medicine Hat weathering provincial power demand
MEDICINE HAT, AB – As a heat wave continues to hang over Medicine Hat, a provincial power consumption record has been shattered.
It’s the third time this month the record has fallen, with the previous mark being smashed by over 300 megawatts.
The Alberta Electric System Operator reported on Thursday evening a consumption mark of 10,852 megawatts, which is easily the highest recorded summer mark in the province’s history.
