Pacific Power urges customers to conserve energy now
Extreme weather across the region is causing higher than normal demand for electricity, and Pacific Power is encouraging our customers to reduce electricity consumption now. Pacific Power is asking all customers to voluntarily take steps to reduce energy use to help reduce strain on the electrical grid.
Customers can take the following steps to help reduce the strain on the grid:
- Switch energy use to off-peak hours (from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) whenever possible.
- Limit use of appliances that generate heat – including dishwashers, ovens and clothes dryers – to the evening or early morning.
- Turn off lights, computers, televisions and appliances when not in use.
- Use fans to keep air moving inside your home.
