Climate change is increasing the demand for electric power for cooling and threatens existing power supply  . Increased energy demand often occurs during peak energy usage and especially during heatwaves . Cooling represented 74% of peak electricity demand in Philadelphia on a particularly hot day in July 2011 . In Canada, warming temperatures are expected to reduce demand for heating by 18-33% and increase demand for cooling by 14-126% by 2070 compared with 1959-1989 and 1998-2014 baseline periods, respectively . The effects on hydropower are uneven across the region with the potential for increases in capacity in
