South Korea – Record power demand brought on by severe cold

South Korea’s power demand soared to an all-time high on Tuesday as the country was hit by a severe cold wave, the government said Tuesday.

Electricity demand hit 82.12 million kilowatts as of 11 a.m., breaking the previous record of 80.15 million kilowatts set on Dec. 17, 2014.

The spike came as the average temperature for all of South Korea fell to minus 10C.
