“We’re asking all Big Sandy RECC members to voluntarily conserve or limit energy on Friday morning from 6 am to 10 am when our membership will be using the greatest amount of electricity. It is during these times that our cooperative often must purchase power from the market at extremely high prices.”
During “normal” load periods, Big Sandy RECC pays only pennies per kilowatt-hour for power. However, during times of “peak” demand, Big Sandy RECC can pay up to one dollar per kilowatt-hour.
“If we have to buy expensive power during a peak, as a not-for-profit cooperative we must pass these higher costs to our members. That causes power bills to increase.” “We’re asking members to be our partners in holding down costs by turning off all unnecessary lights or appliances during the peak period, and by delaying their use of dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and any use of hot water.”
“Working together with our members, we can “Beat the Peak” by using our electricity resources wisely.” “By working together, we can hold down rising energy costs.” David Estepp, CEO.
