Notice Regarding Newsletter

JCREMC — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:45:08 +0000

On page two of the January/February 2012 News & Views we report on the new federal lighting standards scheduled to be implemented in January 2012. The January bills, in which this issue of the newsletter is mailed, had just been prepared for mailing, when the U.S. Congress passed a bill that included a provision for the new lighting standards to be delayed. The standards are still slated to be implemented, but at this time will not go into effect until October 2012. We will keep you informed of any new details that emerge regarding this issue.

EXTREME COLD CAUSES HIGH DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY

JCREMC — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:29:17 +0000

Due to the extreme cold, we will be experiencing a high demand for electricity Saturday morning, 12/10/11. 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 7:00 and 10:00 am. 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.

Winter Peak Information

JCREMC — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:32:50 +0000

The winter season is here and with its arrival comes a period of peak energy use. The cold weather we experience in December, January and February drives up the demand for electricity. When the demand for electricity is high, supply must be met with energy purchased from expensive peak generation units. The hours of highest electricity demand occur between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.; and 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Reducing your electricity usage during these time periods on peak days will help reduce the cooperative’s overall cost to purchase energy and will help us keep rates as low as possible. We will notify our members when we are experiencing a peak usage day. And we will continue to suggest ways to reduce your energy usage via our website, Facebook page, and member newsletter.

POLE INSPECTION UNDERWAY

JCREMC — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:28:11 +0000

Contractors are now inspecting poles in the southwest area of our service territory. You may see Osmose Utilities Services, Inc. vehicles or ATVs near or at your property. They will be working for six to eight weeks. They will be digging at the base of the poles but their testing will not cause service interruptions.
