How can I help prevent rotating outages?

You can help prevent rotating outages by conserving electricity during the peak hours, without jeopardizing your health and safety. Following are some tips:

• Postpone using major appliances until after 9:00 p.m.
• Reduce lighting. Turn off unnecessary lights, switch to efficient fluorescent lights or take advantage of natural sunlight to brighten your home.
• Set thermostats at 78 degrees during the summer months.
• Turn off appliances and equipment when they are not needed.
• Use portable or ceiling fans instead of central air conditioning.
