Central Electric Cooperative asks customers to conserve energy during heatwave
Central Electric Cooperative is asking customers to conserve power between peak hours of 1-7 p.m. Monday, June 23, as summer’s first heat wave swelters Butler County.
The company asked customers raise their thermostats and turn off non-essential electric items to avoid peak energy costs during high-demand periods. It suggested shifting the use of dehumidifiers, for instance, outside peak hours, and deferring chores that require electricity.
“By decreasing electricity used during high-demand periods — when prices are at their highest — everyone can help stabilize future power costs for all members,” the release said.
It said small adjustments in where, when and how electricity is used during peak hours make a difference in energy costs.
