TRAVERSE CITY — Traverse City Light & Power hit a peak load during the National Cherry Festival.
Between high temperatures and crowds, Light & Power hit 61 megawatts. No outages or distribution problems were reported.
Summertime is the traditional time for peak energy usage, mainly because of air conditions.
The community-owned utility encourages lower air conditioner settings, ceiling fans, compact fluorescent light bulbs and window shades to save on money and usage.
