From Dale Cronin, Assistant Superintendent of the Concord Municipal Light Plant. For more information about how the summer peak hour impacts our electric rate for an entire year, read here.Based on current weather conditions and the most recent ISO (Independent System Operator) electricity forecast for tomorrow, there is a reasonable chance New England may hit the highest hourly peak so far this summer.
The forecast is for the peak hour to be from 4-5 PM on Wednesday so if you are able to reduce, reschedule or curtail your use of electricity between the hours of 2 PM and 5 PM you would be helping to reduce electricity costs to all Concord Light customers.
Between the hours of 2 & 5 PM tomorrow you might consider turning up your air conditioning thermostat a few degrees, curtailing the use of electricity such as dryers, washing machines, pool pumps or simply rescheduling their use either before or after the anticipated peak hours.
Thanks again for participating in our effort to reduce the summer electrical peak.
