High Temps Boost Energy Use
By Jessica Mayrer, 7-27-07
On Monday energy demand in Montana hit an all-time high, for the third time this month.
As the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports today, Montana’s record-setting hot summer is leading to record-setting energy use—more and more Montanans are cranking up the air conditioning.
The Chronicle quotes Northwestern Energy spokeswoman Brandy Powers as saying, “Historically, it used to be pretty rare for people in Montana to have air conditioning, and now, with the temperatures we’re seeing, it’s not rare anymore.”
Energy demand in Montana reached 1,724 megawatts Monday afternoon. One megawatt can power up to 400 homes. With temperatures expected to climb over the weekend, the trend is likely to continue.
