It's always a good idea to conserve electricity. Check out these basic tips below to conserve electricity in your own home.
- If you heat with electricity, turn down your thermostat a few degrees
- Reduce the amount of hot water you are using by taking shorter showers or washing your clothes with cold water
- Air dry your clothes instead of using the dryer
- Turn off all lights you're not using
- Unplug all unused electronics, like laptop and phone chargers
On cold winter days, we typically see a spike in electricity usage between 6 am and 9 am, and 5 pm to 8 pm. It is during these times that we need to use more diesel and LNG to meet electricity demand. To help reduce peak electricity demand, you can:
- Schedule your dishwasher to run outside of peak times
- Use a block heater timer for your vehicle
