MLGW has requested all of its customers to conserve power on Tuesday evening due to the extreme heat that has been sweeping over the Mid-South.
Due to the high power load, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) initiated its Emergency Load Curtailment Program, which prompted the request.
The following power-saving strategies were provided by MLGW:
– Switch off any electronics and lights that aren’t needed.
– If health permits, bump up the thermostat a few degrees.
– Not to run dryers, washing machines, or dishwashers until nighttime and
– If possible, to restrict the charging of electric vehicles to off-peak hours.
