Delaware Electric Cooperative "Peak Alert"

URGENT “BEAT THE PEAK”

3 P.M. to 7 P.M., Tonight, June 3rd


Because of the warm weather forecasted in our region tonight, 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., tonight, 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.
