NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Valley Authority shattered a new record on Wednesday for power demand across the state.
This morning's preliminary peak power demand was 34,526 megawatts at a system average temperature of 4 degrees. That sets an all-time TVA record.
"Extremely cold temperatures across the region continue to drive up the demand for electricity," TVA said in a statement. "The TVA electric grid is stable, and our generating facilities are performing well.
The previous record was 33,482 megawatts in August 2007.
Temperatures will rise above freezing on Thursday afternoon.

Growing your family, no matter the journey to get there, is an emotional one. My heart aches for these families who trusted a Nashville fertility clinic with their dreams and finances. Hannah McDonald's relentlessness to find answers is journalism at its best and hopefully a new avenue of hope for the patients caught up in this mess.
