"RMLD’s Shred the Peak campaign seeks to educate customers about the impact of peak demand on RMLD’s electric rates," a release from the company said. "Peak demand is the one hour during the year where the highest level of electricity is consumed by this New England region. By reducing the level of electricity consumed during the peak demand hour, RMLD’s capacity costs will be reduced, which directly benefits RMLD customers."

RMLD's Shred the Peak campaign had already stopped in Reading this month and will be in Lynnfield Thursday morning.
