July 15, 2024
People's Energy Cooperative has issued a peak energy alert for this afternoon. Cooperative members are urged to reduce usage as they are able.
Members enrolled in energy management can expect the following:
C&I Generators (5A) See Industrial Load Control Below |

C&I Manual Generators - Controllable Seasonal Rate (5B) See Industrial Load Control Below |
2:00 - 6:10 p.m. |

Members can conserve electricity during this peak alert period by setting their cooling systems to at least 78 degrees, higher if no one is home; running the dishwasher or doing laundry later in the day; using a microwave instead of the oven to cook; postponing charging electric vehicles until later; and refraining from turning on televisions or gaming systems. Each seemingly small action can collectively make a big difference in the demand made on the electric grid.
