The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has asked ten million customers to reduce power consumption for Wednesday morning as record heating demand is forecasted amid a cold blast.

Power supplies are tightening as demand surges this morning, with heating demand expected to spike across TVA's region. It has asked customers to dial back power usage between 0600 to 1000 local time. 

"Our power system remains stable with our generating plants operating as planned," TVA CEO and President Jeff Lyash said in a video on Tuesday. 

Lyash continued: "However, we do anticipate the highest peak demand for electricity in TVA history early Wednesday morning."
