Join the campaign and become a “Peak Buster”
You can become a “Peak Buster” by joining CHELCO’s new “No Peaking” program, which is designed to save energy and help CHELCO manage the cost of wholesale power.
The idea is to curtail usage of specific electrical devices or appliances during critical peak times of the day.
In CHELCO’s recent Future of Power Generation survey, 75 percent of the 2,700 members who responded said they would be interested in conserving energy during certain times of the day/year to help the co-op avoid additional costs for the membership and potential rate increases.
Members will be notified by phone before the peak time occurs so they have adequate time to react.
Participation in the program lets members help themselves, their neighbors and CHELCO by lowering the peak demand. When CHELCO avoids high peak charges, members benefit through lower wholesale power costs in the future.
For details on becoming a “Peak Buster,” contact Member Service at 892-2111 or visit one of CHELCO’s six area offices. In order to participate, CHELCO must have a participant’s valid phone number.
