ArabiaWeather.com- The authorities in the US state of California expected an increase in the use of air conditioners in the coming days as a result of the expectation that temperatures will reach record highs, which puts them in front of the first test of their ability to provide uninterrupted electricity during this summer, especially after the closure of the Aliso Canyon main storage facility Natural gas.

The company operating the state's power grid, California Independent System Operator, alerted consumers to the need to save energy to help prevent outages, noting that it expects high demand for energy during the unusual heat wave on Monday and Tuesday.

The company expected an increase in public consumption in the network of 45,000 megawatts, compared to the peak demand recorded last year, which amounted to 47,358 megawatts, and the record recorded in July of 2006, amounting to 50,270 megawatts, according to "Reuters".
