What is a Peak Alert?

Peak Alerts generally come on extremely hot days in the afternoon. A Peak Alert is a warning that a new all-time-high demand for electricity could be set by Ohio’s electric Cooperatives, which results in increased transmission costs.

You can help avert a new peak by turning down your air conditioner a few degrees, turning off unnecessary lights, delaying use of large appliances and avoiding use of any other nonessential items. By helping to “Beat the Peak” you’ll help your Cooperative, and yourself, save money in preventing higher charges. For ways to help, visit www.yourenergyadvisor.coop/
