Did you know that small shifts during the hottest hours of the year add up to huge energy savings for all of us!?

When we work together to shave the peak, we help keep electric rates lower for our entire community.

How to Help Today. With high temperatures this week, the system is approaching peak demand. Don't worry, the system can handle the demand, however, there are opportunities for cost savings! If you can safely and comfortably do so, please consider reducing your power usage between 4 PM and 7 PM today:

-Adjust the AC: Raise your thermostat 2–3 degrees during peak hours.
-Delay Major Appliances: Hold off on running the dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer until after 7 PM.
-Unplug & Postpone: Turn off unused lights and delay charging electric vehicles until later this evening.

Your health and safety come first, if you need to keep your AC running, please stay cool and comfortable!
