Power Conservation Alert

Due to expected cold temperatures and high electricity demand of consumers, We are asking our members’ customers to voluntarily conserve electricity. We are encouraging our members' customers to reduce their electricity use during this time to save money now and later. Participation will lower electric use throughout the community and reduce utility energy costs over time. The more people who participate, the bigger the impact on the community.

Here are some ways that customers can help:

1. Turn your thermostat down 2-3 degrees, and avoid emergency heat mode on heat pumps.
2. Limit the use of large, heat-producing appliances (dishwasher, dryer, oven, etc.)
3. Turn off nonessential lights and electronics.
4. Close doors to unused rooms and keep your blinds and drapes closed at night to keep the cold out.

This market-wide capacity advisory alert originated from LG&E/KU, a power supplier responsible for operating the power grid for most of KYMEA's member utilities. This is a voluntary action that is triggered to mitigate the effects of tight power supply and transmission during heavy customer usage. Please monitor our website at www.kymea.org or LinkedIn for alerts to return to routine operating conditions.
