I worked my way through law school as a demand researcher at Wisconsin Power & Light - and the classic pattern was a 3 day hot spell - highs in the 90's and high humidity. At some psychological breaking point everyone would go home and hit their A/C full tilt - and create a new system peak demand. Given Wisconsin's failure to add capacity - it could be brownout time, or time for interruptible power to be yanked.
