Load Sensitivity to Temperature

1C increase in temperature brings about a 5 million kW rise in electricity demand in summer, which equivalent to the electricity consumed in 1.6 million households , or the electricity generated at 5 large scale power plants.

1999 (across the ten companies) 4.9mkW/C
*	"Load Sensibility to Temperature" explains correlation between temperature and peak load, and is volume of maximum power increased by every 1C.
