Ammon News - Peak electricity load reached 4,160 megawatts (MW) on Saturday, according to figures released by the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO).

NEPCO also called on consumers to use electricity efficiently, particularly during peak demand periods, to help maintain the stability and reliability of the national power grid.
