Cold Temps Hard On Electric Grid

Freezing temps are wreaking havoc on the electric grid in several states, including the power supply, which benefits Lebanon. At this time, rolling black outs are NOT necessary for Lebanon, but we do need everyone to help conserve energy. Please help keep our power supply strong. Here are some ways you can help out:
• Wear layers of clothing and use extra blankets.
• Set thermostat settings at 68 degrees or as low as possible.
• Lock doors and windows for a better seal. For drafty windows, close storm windows and consider keeping window shades closed for extra insulation.
• Don’t block heating system air vents with furniture, curtains, or rugs.
• Limit the use of natural gas fireplaces and electric space heaters.
• Close fireplace damper when not in use.
• Roll up a towel to put at the bottom of a leaky door to keep drafts at bay.
• Turn off nonessential lights.
• Postpone all nonessential energy use.
• Turn off and unplug computers, monitors, chargers, printers, and televisions during non-use.
