Ten
percent of your electric bill is directly related to the amount of
electricity Concord uses for just one hour in the entire year. That one
hour occurs every summer during a hot weekday afternoon.
If we could reduce our electric use during that one hour, the entire Town would benefit with lower electric rates and a cleaner environment as the least efficient electric generating plants operate during peaks.
Would you like to help? If so, we will email you during the summer when we think the peak hour might be near due to weather conditions, and you could defer the use of electricity during that 3 hour period to help reduce the Town's peak.
How could you reduce your electricity use? You could defer the use of appliances until later in the day, shut off pool pumps for a few hours, raise the setting on the air conditioning thermostat or anything else that would reduce consumption.
