Recently, New York in the United States has continued to experience high temperatures and power outages in some areas.
To this end, New York Mayor De Blasio urgently urged citizens to reduce electricity consumption to avoid power outages.
Bai Sihao said, "We are facing a real challenge. It is a very serious matter to immediately and immediately reduce the electricity consumption of homes or businesses. We need to ensure that our electricity supply is protected."
On June 30, when several areas of New York City were experiencing high temperatures, there was a power outage again.
The power outage caused problems with traffic lights in the Greenpoint and Vandervoort neighborhoods of Brooklyn, and residents were unable to use air-conditioning.
The aerial video also showed that in Bushwick, nearly 400 residents were plunged into darkness due to a fire on the electric wires.
According to the report, Con Edison, which is responsible for power supply services in New York City, said that it has asked customers not to use energy-intensive equipment such as washing machines, dryers and microwave ovens during the heat wave.
The company also requires customers to limit unnecessary use of air conditioners.
According to previous reports, recently, the Northwestern region of the United States is also experiencing a rare heat wave.
In Washington and Oregon, the high temperature has caused more than ten deaths.
The large increase in power demand in many places makes the power supply system difficult to load.
