What is a PEAK ALERT?
DSO declares a PEAK ALERT when we determine, in conjunction with our power supplier, that the day has a strong possibility of containing the one hour of highest usage for the year for our entire electric system.
It’s critical to control energy use during peak times because more than half of our annual energy costs are based on our one-hour summer peak. So lowering usage during this time will help keep costs down for all our member-owners.
