According to a recent article by Angela Ward from the Longview News-Journal, East Texans have significantly reduced the amount of energy they are using these past two summers. Scott McCloud of AEP/Southwestern Electric says that the dip in energy usage is due to unusually low temperatures in June and July of this year.
"We've only had five days in which the temperature was over 95 degrees and none when it was over 100 degree," McCloud said in the article. "That's very unusual. We also had 22 days during June and July when the temperature didn't even rise into the 90s."
