COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—For the third time this summer Colorado Springs’ power consumption has set a record.
The Gazette said the record was set Tuesday when the temperature hit 94.
The previous record was set only a week earlier.
Jerry Forte, CEO of the Colorado Springs utility, said it was able to meet the demand without importing power from other sources.
Officials noted that people who used power during the period will find their bills higher because rates go up when consumption goes up.
