EXTREME HEAT CAUSES HIGH DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY

Thursday July 5th through Saturday July 7th

Due to the extreme heat, we will be experiencing a high demand for
electricity the evenings of Thursday July 5th through Saturday July 7th.
We will have capacity available to meet this need, but generating power during
this peak time is expensive. Any electrical equipment that could be turned off
during this time will help keep costs lower for Johnson County REMC and our
members. Peak time is usually between 4:00 and 7:00 pm. A few ideas that will
help control the peak during these hours: make sure any lights not being used
are turned off, avoid doing laundry, and avoid running the dishwasher. Thank
you for your assistance.
