Ready, Set, Conserve — Energy Conservation Program
Simply adjust your thermostat and avoid high-electricity usage appliances, and you’re all set.
Helping your neighbors and the grid is right at your fingertips with the Ready, Set, Conserve program. All you do is manually adjust your thermostat by 2-3° and refrain from high-electricity usage for a specified time window — and you’ve done your part to conserve.
With Ready, Set, Conserve, you won’t be caught off guard. When the time comes to conserve, you’ll be notified, by either email or text, a day in advance. No special equipment is needed to participate — just the willingness to adjust your routine for the greater good of conservation.
By participating, you help:
- Reduce the risk of power loss and the need to use additional coal plants.
- Reduce the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere by lightening the load on the grid.
- Your neighbors and the grid when it’s needed the most.
How it works:
During Ready, Set, Conserve events, you’ll be alerted via email or text message, a day in advance, to upcoming periods of high-electricity demand so you can reduce your usage and adjust your thermostat. Be alerted about upcoming events immediately when you sign up for text alerts.
