Choptank Electric Peak Alert
3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Thursday, July 16
3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Friday, July 17
Because of the warmer than normal temperatures expected across our region, we are asking you to delay the use of all unnecessary lights and appliances between the hours of 3pm and 7pm, July 16 & 17.
Home Cooling systems use the most electricity in the home during these hours and in this hot weather. We ask that you turn up your thermostats 3 degrees. Other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, and water heaters.
By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances and by adjusting your thermostat up 3 degrees between 3pm and 7pm, July 16 & 17, we can save energy resources, avoid high cost energy and help the environment.
Thank you for your help. Together we can "Beat The Peak."
warmer than normal temperatures? Who are they kidding? We have turned on our AC about 6 days so far.
