Concord Light Asks Customers to Conserve Power Wednesday

The following is from Concord Municipal Light:

Based on the weather forecast and the ISO (Independent System Operator) New England forecasts for electricity demand, there is a potential for a peak demand hour on Wednesday, August 27th (tomorrow) between 3:00PM – 6:00PM.

If you can reduce your use of electricity during these hours, you will help to reduce electricity costs to all Concord Light customers. You might consider:

• turning up your A/C a few degrees
• postponing use of pool pumps, dryers, washing machines, and other appliances
• planning a picnic supper, or cooking dinner on the grill
• turning off lights not needed
