Stearns Electric Association asks members to do their part to conserve energy today

June 10, 2021 by Hometown News

June 10, 2021: The heat wave we are experiencing has prompted the operator of the electric transmission system in our region to issue a maximum generation emergency event. Stearns Electric Association is asking its members to conserve electricity. Please cut back energy use until 10 p.m. today. Your cooperation is appreciated. This message is from Stearns Electric Association.
Optional information:
Energy-saving suggestions include:
• Postponing use of appliances such as washers, dryers and dishwashers until after 10 p.m.
• Turning off lights and appliances that are not essential to health and safety.
• Turning off computers and other electrical equipment when not in use.
• Keeping your shades pulled and doors and windows closed during the day.
• Using a microwave oven instead of a conventional electric oven or gas stove.
• Setting the thermostat on your central air conditioner to 78 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
• Supplementing air-conditioner use with ceiling fans and other fans, which create a wind-chill effect that increases air-conditioning cooling efficiency.
• Taking shorter showers.
Utility officials made the conservation appeal after all other efforts to reduce electricity demand or to increase supply were implemented. We take our responsibility to supply energy to our members very seriously, and we made this request only after exhausting all other options.
