2:54Now PlayingBloomberg Radio Meteorologist Rob Carolan breaks down this week's weather forecast and why the East Coast is experiencing this extreme heat wave.
Blistering heat is straining power grids across the eastern half of the US, leading to a blackout in part of New York City’s borough of Queens as the local utility issued a warning to conserve electricity.
Consolidated Edison Inc. is working to restore service to more than 6,200 customers in southeast Queens, the company said in a statement. The utility asked residents in the area not to use energy-intensive appliances like washers and microwaves until crews complete repairs.
ConEd has also reduced voltage in Brooklyn and Staten Island to perform repairs, asking more than 168,000 customers in both areas to conserve, including limiting unnecessary use of air conditioners and refraining from charging electric vehicles.
Two regional grids serving 110 million people from the Great Plains to the mid-Atlantic have also issued level-one energy emergency alerts — the lowest level — for Monday as intensifying heat drives up air conditioning needs, straining power supplies.
