As temperatures rise, so does the demand for electricity. During summer months, energy use typically peaks in the late afternoon and early evening when air conditioners are working hardest.
By shifting energy-intensive activities like laundry and cooking to times when demand is lower, you can help reduce strain on the grid—and potentially lower your bill. Together, we can keep power reliable for our entire community.

May graduations are a reminder that education costs are rising and planning ahead matters more than ever. If you have young children in your life—yours, grandchildren, nieces, nephews —you can have time to make an impact.
Two common savings options are worth considering. A 529 Plan offers tax-free growth for qualified education expenses, but non-qualified withdrawals may incur penalties, assets can affect financial aid eligibility, and some plans have state-specific restrictions. A Uniform Gift/Transfer to Minors Account is more flexible. Funds aren't restricted to education, but assets are subject to taxes that can impact overall growth—and once the minor reaches adulthood, they gain full control of the assets. Understanding the trade-offs of each can help you choose the option that best fits your goals.
