A Canadian man who was missing for nearly 30 years has been found after he had a flash of memory.

Edgar Latulip, who had developmental delays and functioned at a child's level, was 21 when he was reported missing. He walked away from a group home in September 1986, The Waterloo Region Record reported.

His mother had given up hope of seeing her son again.

Last month, a man started to remember parts of his past, giving a name to his social worker.

Police confirmed with a DNA test that the man with no memory was Latulip, The Waterloo Region Record reported.

Police think that Latulip lost his memory because of a head injury after a bus trip to Niagara Falls.

He has yet to be reunited with his family.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
