To conserve power and to avoid potential increases on monthly electrical costs, turn your thermostat up a few degrees to minimize AC runtimes. Limit the use of appliances in general, but especially those with high power consumption or those that produce additional heat, such as ovens and dishwashers. Unplug any unused devices and turn off any lights or other electronics.
A peak alert for tomorrow has not been issued, but is still possible.
