Cincinnati, OH. Apartment complex is split in two halves (firewall in between).
One half is normal. Other half is 40-50 degrees.
Started Friday morning, thermostat at 70, temperature at 65. By noon it drifted down to 60.
Come to find out entire side of the building was like this. Was even very noticeable walking the hallways that half the building was exceptionally cold, half was normal.
Apartment manager was very specific that the furnaces are not broken. Tried to say they ‘weren’t keeping up.’ However I know how little they run to keep me warm on a normal cold day. Just because it was zero outside in no way would make the furnace only able to maintain 45 degrees. He also kept dodging my questions, giving corporate responses. Talked like a CIA trained drone/politician.
The only answer is curtailing, Whether by the apartment complex or by the electric utility.
Wanted to see if anyone else had issues?
I got this text message this morning: "PJM, the regional grid operator that includes PECO, has asked for consumers to look for ways to safely conserve electricity until 10 a.m. tomorrow. If your health permits, please consider reducing the use of your electricity."
Literally have never gotten such a message or heard of such thing until now. Something fucky is going on.
My son in northern Indiana is reporting the same kinda thing....
