Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

“Peak Alert”


6 P.M. to 8 P.M., Tonight, December 22

Because of the colder than normal temperatures across our region today, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., December 22, we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights or appliances during these hours.

While one of the largest consumers of electricity in the home during these hours and during this time of year are heating costs, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, hot water heaters and stoves as well as Christmas lighting displays.

By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. tonight we can save energy resources, avoid high cost energy and help the environment.

We need your help. Together we can “Beat The Peak”

Thank you.

  1. You should because callous attitudes like that are what contributes to the need for rate increases.
