Abstract

The article focuses on the impact of extreme heat on power grids in the eastern United States, particularly highlighting a blackout in southeast Queens, New York. Consolidated Edison Inc. is working to restore service to over 6,200 customers and has urged residents to conserve electricity by avoiding the use of energy-intensive appliances. Additionally, PJM Interconnection, which serves a 13-state region, has issued energy emergency alerts due to rising demand for air conditioning, while the Midcontinent Independent System Operator has declared a maximum generation event for the Midwest. Excessive heat warnings are in effect along the East Coast, prompting calls for energy conservation across multiple states. [Extracted from the article]
