SRP Sets New Record for Amount of Energy Delivered to Customers
August 6, 2024
Arizona public power utility Salt River Project recently set a new record for the amount of energy delivered to its retail customers.
On Sunday, Aug. 4, between 5 and 6 p.m., SRP delivered its highest system peak of 8,219 megawatts.
This surpasses the previous system peak record of 8,163 MW set on July 18, 2024, between 4 and 5 p.m.
Strong customer demand is the result of several factors, including extreme daytime temperatures, higher overnight temperatures and an increase in the number of SRP commercial and residential electric customers. The high temperature recorded on Aug. 4 was 116 degrees.
