Washington Light and Power has issued a notice alerting the community about the growing strain on national electric resources, particularly between 1 p.m. and 11 p.m.While no immediate concern arises, residents and local businesses are urged to assist in energy conservation during these peak hours. To contribute to this effort, here are some recommended steps:
Raise your thermostat during peak load periods to reduce electricity usage, especially on hot days.
Schedule the operation of large appliances for nighttime hours when energy demand is lower.
Utilize fans to circulate air instead of drastically cooling your space.
Keep blinds closed during daylight hours to minimize the sun’s heat.
Power down lights and electronic devices when not in use.
Enhance the efficiency of your air conditioning by changing its filter.
Your collaboration will contribute to maintaining stable energy resources.
