Power Conservation Alert
until 08/24/2023 11:00pm EST
Due to expected high temperatures and anticipated high electricity demand we are asking our customers to voluntarily conserve electricity.
We are encouraging our customers to reduce their electricity use during this time to save money now and later. Participation, particularly during the hours of 3:00pm thru 7:00pm, will lower electric use throughout the community and reduce utility energy costs over time. The more participation from our customers, the bigger the impact on the community.
Here are some ways that customers can help:
1. Turn your thermostat up 2-3 degrees; or use a fan instead of the A/C.
2. Limit the use of large, heat-producing appliances (dishwasher, dryer, oven, etc.)
3. Close your blinds and drapes to keep the heat out.
This market-wide capacity advisory alert originated from MISO, a power supplier responsible for supplying power to our community.
This is a voluntary action that is triggered to mitigate the effects of tight power supply and transmission during heavy customer usage.
