It's super cold in our region so please do what you can to conserve/delay energy use like turning off lights, to cooking with the microwave, delaying using large appliances (think washer/dryer, oven, dishwasher, shower, etc.).
A peak alert is not a shortage of electricity available to our members -- it's a way we manage the cost of our electricity.
