This is just a guess. Most housing built after 2000 have AC units but our weather tends to be mild so people don't run it normally. Heatwave is causing everyone to flip on their ACs. Also in the middle summer, hydropower i would guess is at its lowest output. Also noticed a lack of a breeze at the beach today which would be affecting wind power if there wasn't significant air movement.
