Boating and fishing trips can turn dangerous fast when storms roll in unexpectedly. A clear sky when you launch your boat doesn’t always mean clear conditions all day, so take a moment to check the weather before heading out. Planning ahead helps you avoid getting caught on the water when conditions change.

Tip to Avoid Scams: Protect your accounts by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second step, such as a code sent to your phone or an authentication app, beyond just your password. Even if a scammer steals your login information through phishing or data breaches, MFA can stop them from accessing your account.

At your local electric cooperative, your security matters. Take a few minutes today to enable MFA and keep your information safe.

Grilling season isn’t just a summer tradition, it’s also a smart way to help with energy use!

Cooking inside with the oven or stovetop adds heat to your home on hot summer days, which can make your A/C work harder to keep things cool. Choosing to grill outside helps keep that extra heat out of the house, supporting a more comfortable home and more efficient energy use during the hottest days of summer.

Heading to the lake? Read this first. ⚠️Faulty wiring on docks can cause electric shock drowning, often with no warning signs. If you feel tingling in the water, swim away immediately and avoid the dock. Make sure your dock is properly inspected and up to code. Turn off power to the dock before swimming nearby. Put safety first before jumping in!

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. A friendly reminder that our peak summer hours are 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

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.
