Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”


5 P.M. to 9 P.M., Tonight, April 27


Because of the warmer than normal temperatures over our region, between the hours of 7 P.M. and 9 P.M. tonight, April 27 we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights or appliances during these hours as well as turning your thermostat up 3 degrees.


While the largest consumers of electricity in the home during these hours and during this type of hot weather are cooling costs and lighting, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, hot water heaters and stoves.


By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances as well as adjusting your thermostat up 3 degrees between 7 P.M. and 9 P.M. tonight, April 27, we can save energy resources, avoid high cost energy and help the environment.


We thank you for your help. Together we can “Beat The Peak”

How much power from the new gigantic power line towers will actually power the local area? How much or is it all going to southern Jersey?

Why do they think it's okay to live like a third world country?
There should be abundant energy available at all times.
