When conservation directives are issued, members can help by:
- Reducing use of non-essential electrical equipment
- Delaying discretionary electricity use when possible
- Staying informed through official communications
Even small, temporary reductions across many homes and businesses make a meaningful difference.
Key things to remember
- These events are regional, not caused by local damage
- Crews may not be able to restore power immediately because there may be no physical damage to repair
- Rolling outages are used only as a last resort
- Demand response helps protect the grid during extreme conditions
