Ontario's electricity demand hits record high due to prolonged heat wave This week, Ontario's electricity demand reached a critical level due to a prolonged heat wave, with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) reporting a surge of approximately 25,000 megawatts on Monday, the highest demand since 2013. The strain on the power grid was further exacerbated by warm nights that extended the operation of air conditioning and other cooling systems, leading to considerable pressure on the system during Sunday and Tuesday. As Ontario's reliance on electricity continues to grow, driven in part by a projected 75% increase in demand by 2050, the IESO is proactively preparing for extreme conditions through staff training and energy sharing collaborations with neighboring provinces.

And we’re back. In the car. Again.
