TVA is asking the public to lower power consumption, specifically between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Thursday February 20th and Friday 21st. This will help customers save money and reduce potential strain on the power grid. At this time, the power system remains stable.
Ways to reduce your energy usage
- Set your thermostat to 65-68 degrees. Each degree you lower your thermostat can save you as much as 3 percent on your monthly energy bill.
- Postpone use of your clothes dryer, dishwasher, and stove/oven during peak times.
- Turn off non-essential appliances and lights during peak times.
- Commercial Business: Turn off any lights and office equipment (or place in sleep mode) when not in use and turn off heating outside of business hours
