As temperatures rise, so does the demand for electricity. During peak usage periods, typically in the late afternoon and early evening, the electric grid experiences its highest demand.
Here are a few simple ways you can conserve:
Setting thermostats higher than usual.Supplement air conditioning with fans.Postponing use of major electric appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, and clothes dryers until after 7 p.m., when the demand for electricity decreases.Turn off all unnecessary lights and electronics.Close blinds and curtains to block out heat from the sun.
Together, let’s beat the peak! #SaveEnergy #BeatThePeak
