Due to high temperatures and increasing energy demand, we are asking municipal electric customers to VOLUNTARILY reduce electric use today, Tuesday, June 24th, 2025.  Power Saver Hours are from 3 pm to 8 pm.  Customers are encouraged to lower their electric use during these hours to save money both now and later.  Participation will lower electric use throughout the community and in return lower customers’ monthly electric costs and reduce utility energy costs over time.  The more people that participate, the bigger the impact.

Customers can help by taking simple steps such as:

  • Cook outdoors or use a microwave to keep heat out of the kitchen.
  • Delay running the dishwasher until after the alert is over.
