URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”
3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Tomorrow, May 1st
3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Sunday, May 2nd
Because of the warm weather forecasted in our region this weekend, 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., Saturday and Sunday, 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.
You can also follow our Beat the Peak alerts and other news by becoming a follower of Delaware Electric Coop on and/or.
If we all save a little, together we save a lot.

Beat nothin' when you conserve they jack the rates up.
It is completely unacceptable that this country that has put men on the moon (40 years ago) must resort to electricity rationing!
Ration the electricity so that you can fall into the low kilowatt catagory so you are charged and higher per kilowatt.
I refuse to beat the peak, it's time somebody stops the "price rape" of the rate payers.
