Con Edison is currently dealing with widespread power outages and equipment failures across several New York areas caused by extremely high temperatures.

由於極端高溫，Con Edison 目前正處理紐約多個地區出現的大規模停電與設備故障問題。

The current instability of the power grid is caused by a combination of extreme heat and a sharp increase in energy use. In southwest Queens, specifically in Howard Beach, Ozone Park, and Richmond Hill, the company intentionally cut power to about 10,000 customers. This was done to allow for faster repairs and to prevent the entire system from crashing. At the same time, electricity voltage was reduced by 8% in parts of the Northeast Bronx and Manhattan to protect the equipment from damage.

目前的電網不穩定是由於極端高溫與能源使用量激增共同造成的。在皇后區西南部的 Howard Beach、Ozone Park 及 Richmond Hill，公司刻意切斷了約 10,000 名客戶的電力。這樣做是為了加快維修速度並防止整個系統崩潰。與此同時，東北布朗克斯與曼哈頓部分地區的電壓被降低了 8%，以防止設備受損。

Government officials have focused on managing the electricity load and redistributing resources. Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized that state officials, working with the NYISO and city leaders, have asked large energy consumers to switch to alternative fuel sources. Furthermore, the administration has encouraged residents to voluntarily reduce their energy use. Specifically, they recommended setting air conditioners to 75-78 degrees Fahrenheit and avoiding the use of high-power appliances. These steps are intended to reduce the unexpected pressure on the electrical grid.

政府官員將重點放在管理電力負荷與重新分配資源。州長 Kathy Hochul 強調，州政府官員與 NYISO 及市領導合作，要求大型能源用戶轉用替代燃料。此外，政府也鼓勵居民自願減少能源使用。具體而言，他們建議將空調溫度設定在華氏 75 至 78 度，並避免使用高功率電器。這些措施旨在減輕電網意外承受的壓力。

Repair crews continue to assess the damage and restore power as the grid remains under significant pressure from high demand.

由於電網在高需求下仍承受巨大壓力，維修團隊將繼續評估損壞情況並恢復電力供應。
