'가을폭염' 닥친 9월 최대 전력수요 사상 최대치 찍었다
South Korea's peak electricity demand in September hit a record high for any September as scorching heat drove demand for air conditioning.
According to Korea Power Exchange's data on Wednesday, the average peak power demand in September this year was 78 gigawatts, up 6-percent on-year, almost reaching July's peak of 80-point-5 gigawatts.
And despite Korea normally getting cooler, the average lowest temperature in a single day that month was at 20-point-9 degrees Celsius, the highest ever for any September since 1973.
And as "special" summer discounts do not apply in September, higher electricity bills are expected.
