BC Hydro says it expects the new record for peak hourly demand during the summer set over the weekend could be broken today as the heat wave peaks.
The Crown utility says demand on Saturday night surpassed the previous record set last August, though it's reassuring customers its system can meet demand.
It says peak hourly demand is usually recorded on weekdays when customers follow a more routine schedule, which makes Saturday's record even more unique.
It suggests closing drapes and blinds to block out heat and opting for smaller appliances when cooking to save money and keep cool.
