2019-07-16 | Heat wave could cause power outages in New York City, Chicago, D.C.

'An upcoming heat wave could lead to power outages in the central and eastern U.S., including the major metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington and Chicago, experts say. '

'A widespread blackout Saturday in New York City left much of Manhattan without electricity. ', "Christina Harper, a spokeswoman for Pepco, said the city's primary public utility company is preparing for power outages, although it is not necessarily expecting them."

'Con Edison said Tuesday that demand for power in Westchester County and New York City was 10,541 megawatts. '

'That is well below the highest demand for power in history, Drury said, which happened during a heat wave in July 2013. '

2 separate electrical substation fires occur at the same time, miles apart. They mention it casually - but don't take the issue any further.
