Pacific Power urges customers to conserve energy now

KDRV · last updated

OREGON — Extreme weather is driving up electricity demand, and Pacific Power is urging customers to cut back on energy use.

According to Pacific Power, all customers are encouraged to voluntarily reduce their electricity consumption to ease the strain on the grid.

Customers can help by shifting energy use to off-peak hours, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. They should also limit the use of heat-generating appliances like dishwashers, ovens, and dryers to the evening or early morning.

Turning off lights, computers, televisions, and appliances when not in use can also help, as well as using fans to circulate air indoors.

Pacific Power plans to send another alert once the power supply stabilizes. For more information on energy conservation, visit Pacific Power’s website.
