ComEd (Chicago Utility) still concerned about Monday powerups; summer usage.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I don't fully understand why business firing up Monday concerns them..but anyway: And, still cautious, Ho [ComEd's Y2K manager] noted that the next big test of ComEd's more than three-year effort to ensure Y2K preparedness will come Monday morning, when businesses return to work and flip on their lights for the first time since New Year's Eve.

For things to go as smoothly in the heat of summer as they did over the weekend will require a herculean effort from the utility in the months to come, Abolt said. Chicago Tribune Link

Lisa,

Thanks for the post. Com Ed is my local power co., I for one am happy to have my preps & will not be getting rid of them any time soon.

If I had ComEd power, I would keep my preps, too. They had a big problem in 1999 even before Y2K. Wait til everybody turns on their air conditioners this summer. Dick Mills said a while back when he was still writing for Westergaard - Y2K rollover would not be the big problem, but it would lower the power margin and we would have shortages in the summer. I believe he also predicted scattered 3-day outages starting on the third.

Keep those preps.
