Page Eight THE SUMMER DAILY Wednesdoy, June 13, 1973 Page Eight THE SUMMER DAILY Wednesday, June 13, 1973 Heat wave hits R f Rising temps cause power cut-backs Power companies along the East Coast strained yesterday to meet rising demands for electricity as another day of hot, muggy weather left millions of people sweltering and forced some voltage reductions. Effects of the heat wave also brought energy cutbacks in the Detroit area, as electricity consumers began using summer appliances. Ann Arbor, however, escaped the brownout trend experienced elsewhere, Detroit Edison spokespersons said yester- day. The New York area was among the hardest hit. As temperatures neared the 93-degree record for the date, the New York Power Pool ordered Consolidated Edison Co. to reduce voltage to the city and Westchester County by five per cent. The Niagara-Mohawk power grid serving western New York state also was ordered to cut back by five per cent.

Spokesmen said power cutbacks were virtually un- noticeable to consumers. OFFICIALS for the Potomac Electric and Power Co. serving the Washington, D.C., area said cutbacks on Monday were prompted in part by the fact that several generators were down for repairs. A company spokesman said the hot weather - and the demand for electricity - wasn't anticipated until later in the year. Schools in several Washington suburbs - including Montgomery and Prince George's counties, Md., and Arlington County, Va. - closed early yesterday because of the heat. A spokesman for Columbus and Southern Electric Co., reporting on scattered power problems in Ohio, said: "This happens every summer during the first few hot days. People buy new air conditioners, frost free refrigerators, electric can openers and we have no way of knowing about it until they get 'em all going at the same time." THE PENNSYLVANIA New Jersey-Maryland power pool of cons- panies serving all of New Jersey, the District of Columbia and Dela- ware and parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia said it was in relatively good shape. The PJM pool cut power by five per cent on Monday to help out neighboring systems.
