Members can conserve electricity during this peak alert period by setting their heating systems to at least 68 degrees, lower 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.
