Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”

6 P.M. to 8 P.M., Tonight, December 11th

Because of the cold weather forecast in our area tonight, between the hours of 6 P.M. and 8 P.M., we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights and appliances during these hours.

The largest users of electricity in the home during these hours are lighting and major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, water heaters and ranges. Other important steps to take might include adjusting thermostats down 3 degrees during this “Peak” time of 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

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