Coming off one of the hottest summers in South Carolina, Greer Commission of Public Works (CPW) customers set two all-time peaks for electric demand.
On Wednesday, July 27th from 5 to 6 PM, the total system demand was 90.71 megawatt- hours, beating the former peak of 88.08 megawatt-hours set June 30th, 2015 by nearly 3 percent.
In addition, CPW set an all-time monthly electric consumption peak of 44,944,216 kilowatt-hours, exceeding the previous peak monthly consumption by 6.15 percent.
