As the seasons change, so do our energy needs. Whether we’re trying to stay cool in the summer or warm in the winter, we use more and more energy. And when our region’s collective energy use spikes, it can lead to something called peak demand. Peak demand often leads to higher bills and more strain on the grid, which can cause outages. Fortunately, there are plenty of easy-to-implement energy saving behaviors that can help us to reduce peak demand and be more Energy Wise. Working together we can help keep the lights on and control costs year-round.
