With temperatures expected to rise into the upper 80s Friday, Central Electric Cooperative is issuing a Peak Alert Day.
They ask that homeowners conserve power today by turning off non-essential electric items and raising your thermostat a few degrees. They also ask people to shift the use of items such as dehumidifiers, pool pumps, and electric appliances to hours outside of the peak period.
According to the CEC, they issue peak alerts because “decreasing electricity used during high-demand periods — when prices are at their highest — everyone can help stabilize future power costs for all members.”
