On Saturday, the record was broken at 8,191 MW.“Despite historic levels of energy usage, APS and its customers experienced no issues related to power supply; and that does not happen by accident.
It takes years of planning, maintaining a diverse energy mix, investing in and strengthening the electric system, and most importantly teams of people who are dedicated to keeping the lights on for customers when they need us most,” said Ted Geisler, APS president, in a release. “Arizona summers can be brutal, and APS is here to serve and ready to respond every day whether we’re faced with heat, monsoon storms, wildfires or all of the above.
