Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”


3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Tomorrow, June 25

3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Friday, June 26

3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Saturday, June 27



Because of the warm weather forecasted in our region for the next three days, between the hours of 3 P.M. and 7 P.M., Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights and 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 time of year are cooling costs and lighting, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, water heaters and stoves.

By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances as well as turning your thermostat up 3 degrees between 3 P.M. and 7 P.M., Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 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”
