CONSERVATION ALERT
ERCOT has issued a Conservation Alert asking consumers and businesses to reduce electric use immediately.
Recommendations from ERCOT:
-
• Set your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher – every degree of cooling increases your energy use by six to eight percent.
-
• Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances.
-
• Avoid using large appliances like ovens and washing machines.
-
• Turning down lighting in common areas.
-
• Minimize electric lighting and the use of electric equipment.
-
• Close drapes and blinds.
