A&N Electric Cooperative - Beat the Peak

Beat the Peak:

Thursday, April 17th

 

from 6 to 8 a.m.

 

Why?

We're "beating the peak" tomorrow morning because of the cold. During times of peak energy use, your co-op pays a premium price for energy. By reducing the amount of energy you are using in your home, you can lower your co-op's energy costs. The demand charge is expensive and we try and lower energy use during times when engineers think we'll hit our energy peak. Even though temperatures won't be brutally cold tomorrow morning, energy use may still peak for the month so we've issued the Beat the Peak alert. Because A&N Electric Cooperative is member-owned, those savings are passed on to you. 

What should I do?
To lower your energy consumption during the alert period, please turn off any unnecessary lights and delay using appliances like your dishwasher or washing machine. Turning the thermostat down a few degrees can also significantly lower the amount of energy you are using.
