Beat the Peak – Better Days Ahead

4 p.m. We are still playing defense with the power grid, but we are close to being “out of the woods.” Other areas aren’t so blessed. Associated is doing a great job balancing its spinning plates. Here is a link to see power outages in the United States. There are still millions without power. One member of Team SEMO has a son in Houston without power. It is a mess in other states.

7 a.m. We continue to monitor the load to avoid rolling blackouts. We are prepared should an event occur to the electric grid this morning. We expect a peak between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Please continue to reduce your electrical usage if possible. The good news is you are saving money by saving energy. Thank you.
