Our power suppliers have notified us that the situation has stabilized enough that we are no longer at immediate risk of mandatory strategic outages.
We ask that our members continue to make energy conservation efforts, such as keeping the thermostat a bit lower, turning off unused lights and minimizing the use of appliances such as dishwashers, laundry machines, electric water heaters and electric space heaters. Taking these steps will also help lower your usage and potentially high bills during this extreme weather event.
We also want to extend our sincere thanks to all of our members who have made efforts to minimize energy use and help avoid strategic outages during this historic event.
