Recent Hot Weather
With the extreme heat last week throughout Florida and the much of the country, the Florida Municipal Power Pool (FMPP) recorded peak load levels. Last Monday afternoon, FMPP hit an instantaneous peak of 4,013 MW which is the highest load of the year to date. This exceeds the previous record peak set by the Pool in 2023 by over 50 MW when adjusting for the current make-up of Municipal utilities participating.
