PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 On the hottest day of the year so far, two major electric companies reported record energy use across Valley households on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

APS<\/a> says its customers set a new all-time peak energy demand record of 8,527 megawatts between 5 and 6 p.m. Last year, APS\u2019 record was set at 8,210 megawatts.<\/p>\n

In addition, SRP <\/a>customers also set a record of 8,324 megawatts between 3 and 4 p.m., around the time the mercury reached 118 degrees at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. SRP\u2019s previous peak record was set last August, when customers used 8,205 megawatts. <\/p>\n

The Valley of the Sun reached a blazing 118 degrees \u2014 the second time this summer we\u2019ve reached 117 degrees or higher. We are expecting temperatures to slightly dip for the rest of this week as a ridge of high pressure shifts away from Arizona to the west. <\/p>\n
