⚠️ ENERGY USE ALERT — PLEASE CONSERVE NOW UNTIL 6 P.M. TODAY

Energy demand is climbing quickly across the AEP region. Bryan Municipal Utilities is asking customers to reduce electricity use now through 6 p.m.

Even small changes can help:

Delay laundry, dishwashing and other high-energy activities until after 6 p.m.
Turn off unnecessary lights and electronics.
If possible, adjust your thermostat a few degrees.
Avoid running large appliances during this critical period.

Please help us reduce peak energy demand this afternoon. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hey Bryan - sharing this because we love a Fall Cleanup like the persnickety detail people we are.

Come on Bryan - Let’s shave a little off the top of future energy rates.

(SOUND UP 😉!) Peak Shaving is underway! Hot days like this one help determine future electric costs. If we all reduce our usage a bit now through 6pm, it can make a big difference in future costs.

September is National Preparedness Month.

Severe weather and power outages don’t always give us much warning, so now is a good time to make sure your household is ready.

Do you have emergency supplies? Enough water and food that doesn’t require cooking? A way to stay informed if your phone isn’t available?

Take a look at the checklist and see how prepared you really are.

Throughout September, BMU will be sharing more information to help customers prepare for storms, outages and other emergencies
A little preparation now can make a big difference when you need it.

Dark and early — because that’s how the BMU Water Department rolls. John Caperton & the Water Distribution Crew let me tag along as they tracked down & repaired a water leak near the courthouse. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes work that starts before some of us finish our first cup of coffee. Thanks fellas!

School’s back, and it’s a great time for an energy-efficiency reset.

A few small changes can make a difference, from adjusting the thermostat to unplugging unused electronics and watching those late-afternoon peak hours.

And yes, kids: apparently homework can help save energy, too. 😏

💧⚡ More than a century old — and still helping power Bryan.
This National Hydropower Day, we’re celebrating BMU’s own Auglaize Hydroelectric Plant, located on the Auglaize River just south of Defiance.

The facility dates to 1912 and generated more than 6.1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2025.

Even during very dry conditions late last year, Auglaize was operated during critical peak-demand periods to help maximize its value for Bryan customers.

Historic infrastructure. Renewable energy. Local public power.

Seriously, we're fan-girling over this one.
- A ceiling fan can make a room feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler or warmer — just by moving the air.
For the best results:
Summer: counterclockwise
Winter: clockwise
Leaving the room: turn it off
(Not bad for something that’s been hanging over your head this whole time.)
Thanks for the reminder, American Municipal Power, Inc. — You gotta know BMU is fully enrolled in your fan club.
