TVA reported Thursday it had exceeded its’ 2024 peak usage demand three times in July alone.
Tom Sakowiak reported TVA met a new high peak demand for the summer of 2025 this week. On Wednesday, July 30, TVA reached a preliminary summer-to-date peak of 31,888 megawatts at a system average temperature of 93 degrees, the highest demand so far this summer.
Also, Tuesday’s preliminary peak was 31,563 MW at 95 degrees Fahrenheit, just shy of this summer’s earlier peak of 31,644 MW on July 17.
So that’s three peaks in the month of July, all of which have already exceeded TVA’s 2024 summer peak of 31,096 MW, which was reached last August at a higher system temperature of 99 degrees Fahrenheit.
By the way , these peaks are still well below the all-time summer peak of over 33,500 MW in August 2007 and the all-time peaks of over 35,000 MW set during both January 2025 and January 2024.
