(CENTRALIA, WA) – Centralia City Light recorded a demand for
electricity Thursday morning that nearly reached the all-time load for the
system. City Light Manager M.L. Norton says the demand on the system was 71
megawatts, one megawatt shy of the record set during a cold snap in December
2009. Norton says if we continue to have
the cold temperatures we have had the past few mornings, Centralia City Light
could likely experience a record high demand for electricity. Norton says City
Light has the capacity to meet the increased demand, even it was to reach
record levels.
