New England's power grid operator declared a level 1 emergency alert as temperatures soared, facing a heat wave in the northeastern US. The alert was issued to address a lack of electricity supply after some power generation units went offline, leading to electricity prices peaking at $1,993 per megawatt-hour. The grid operator had to bring online back-up oil generation to meet demand during the intense heat, highlighting the challenges faced by the region's power grid during the summer season.
