Electricity Demand Hits All Time High on December 20
J P Foster of Illinois Power Co reports a December 10 peak of 615000 kilowatts between 6 and 6 PM due to holiday demand. Winter weather, extended shopping hours, and Christmas lighting drove the record though milder temps kept heating use down. The company’s current capacity exceeds 809000 kilowatts and a new 225000 kilowatt unit slated for 1959 will push output beyond a million kilowatts.
