EGAT reports highest electricity usage since 2006

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) reports the highest electricity usage in Thailand since 2006.

The Governor of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Mr. Kraisri Kanasuth (ไกรสีห์ กรรณสูต), reported on the current electricity demand in the nation. The EGAT governor said that two incidents of extremely high electiricy usage, called peaks have occured since the beginning of 2007.

Officials report that at 2:30 PM on March 14, 446.66 million units of electricity, measured at 21,374.6 megawatts, was used by the public. The second highest peak was recorded on March 13. Mr. Kraisri said that the phenomenon was probably due to hot weather, and more similiar incidents are expected to occur as temperature rises.

EGAT asks that the public expend electricity in an efficient manner, in order to conserve fuel used to generate electricity, and save on the consumer's own spendings.

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

Egat reports the highest electricity usage since last year.

Anyone else see a alarming trend here?

Such a stupid article....

"Mr. Kraisri said that the phenomenon was probably due to hot weather"

Is this really news? And is it really worth posting AS news....

Are there brown outs? I noted that some of my fluorescent lights took a bit longer to come on. Low voltage is not the healthiest thing for computers.

And no mention in the article of new factories in operation, more housing development, all with air con mostly.
