Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”


6 A.M. to 8 A.M., Monday Morning, January 11


Because of the cold weather forecast in our area, between the hours of 6 A.M. and 8 A.M. Monday morning, 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 these “Peak” times.


By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances between the “Peak” times, 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”

Don't use your coffee pot, don't take a shower or shave, and don't use your electric heat pump or watch T.V.

8:52 your ignorance is abundant. This type of alert is not asking you to switch off your lights.

Did you miss the article where Delaware Coop had a rate decrease, attributed to the massive cooperation of their members adhering to these beat the peak alerts??
