The record setting heat on Monday has also broken a power record.

SaskPower is confirming that Monday's 35 degrees caused folks to crank the AC and turn on more fans, using 3,470 megawatts of juice.  It was just a month ago that we broke the old record from July of 2015.

While heat is a factor, so is an increasing population and commercial sector leading the Crown Corporation to invest more in their capital projects in recent years.
