US EditionCon Edison Asks NYC to Conserve Energy Amid Heat Wave
- On Monday night into Tuesday, a significant number of residents in Queens, Brooklyn, and The Bronx experienced power outages amid a historic heat wave that pushed temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The power outages stemmed from equipment failures in affected neighborhoods, prompting Con Edison to reduce voltage by 8% in parts of Brooklyn and Queens to protect infrastructure and maintain service.
- Con Edison advised nearly 117,500 customers to refrain from operating high-demand devices like washers, dryers, and microwaves until repairs are finished, while crews worked overnight to restore power to over 34,700 residents in the Bronx.
- Mayor Eric Adams advised residents to limit electricity use by turning off unnecessary lights, using one air conditioner per home, and only cooling the occupied rooms to reduce grid stress.
- The combined effects of outages and extreme heat encouraged continued energy conservation to stabilize the grid, with officials warning conditions may ease by Wednesday but storms are possible afterward.
