Speaking on Wednesday, as temperatures ranged between 30 C and 35 C, Stephen Lecce promised that Ontario’s electrical grid is ready for the strain.
Lecce’s office said demand was expected to peak at around 24,000 megawatts on Wednesday, which would be the highest peak since 2013, with the exception of the summer of 2020, when Ontario had to change the energy rules for industry as the pandemic added extra electrical strain.Between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., energy usage was at 22,300 MW in Ontario.“Today, on the hottest of summer days so far in 2024 and one of the highest days of energy usage in a decade,” Lecce said.
“People are not able to cool off for an extended period of time,” she said. “It will be a muggy, hot few days for Eastern Canada.”
