Thousands of Los Angeles residents were left without power Saturday morning after a heat wave prompted high electricity demand throughout the city.
“Friday’s record-setting heat led to unprecedented peak electricity demand,” according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). High demand caused power outages throughout city and left 34,500 customers in the dark — without fans or air conditioning.
The department said that figure accounts for about 2.5% of their 1.5 million customers.
