"Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”

6 P.M. to 9 P.M., Tonight, March 3rd

6 A.M. to 8 A.M., Tomorrow Morning, March 4th


Because of the cold weather forecast in our area, between the hours of 6 P.M. and 9 P.M., this evening, March 3rd and 6 A.M. to 8 A.M., tomorrow morning, March 4th, 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.

For more information on our “Beat the Peak” program visit http://www.beatthepeak.coop/ and be sure to signup for a free In-Home Indicator which you plug into the wall and it will alert you when a Beat the Peak event happens. Shipping of the device begins in late March but you need to sign-up on the website today.

If we all save a little, together we save a lot.
