Beat the Peak Wednesday evening and Thursday morning

Due to continued extreme cold weather and higher projected energy use in the region, A&N Electric Cooperative has issued two Beat the Peak Alerts.

The first is from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. today (Wednesday, Jan. 22).

A second Beat the Peak Alert is for tomorrow morning (Thursday, Jan. 23) from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Please remember this is a voluntary program. When members conserve during times of peak energy use, the co-op’s cost for power drops.

How to Conserve:

• In cold weather, lower your thermostat a few degrees
• Turn off any unnecessary lights
• Delay the use of major appliances like dishwashers and dryers until after the alert time has passed
• Delay the use of hot water
• Delay charging your electric vehicle

By lowering the amount of power being consumed across the system when energy prices are high, you are helping to lower the co-op’s cost for power. Because A&N Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit utility, those savings are passed on to you in the form of affordable rates. Please note: You will not see a credit on your bill for conserving energy nor will you be charged more for power if you do not conserve. This is a voluntary program, which benefits all co-op members.
