POWER WATCH - CONSERVATION NEEDED

We have been notified that a peak event will occur. Consumers and businesses are encouraged to reduce their electricity use as much as possible today during peak hours from 2 to 7 p.m., to help prevent electricity emergencies or the need for rotating outages to protect the electric grid. We ask that you please take the following actions:

• Turn thermostat up 2 to 3 degrees during the peak hours of 2 to 7 p.m.
• Set programmable thermostats to higher temperatures when no one is home.
• If home, use fans to feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler.
• Schedule pool pumps to run in the early morning or overnight hours; shut off between 4 and 6 p.m.
• Limit use of large appliances (dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc.) to morning or after 7 p.m.
• If you cook indoors from 2 to 7 p.m., use a microwave or slow cooker.
• Close blinds and drapes during late afternoon.
