TVA Asks Utility Customers to Voluntarily Conserve Power Due to Heat Wave
- On Tuesday, the Tennessee Valley Authority along with regional utilities urged customers throughout their seven-state service area to minimize non-essential electricity consumption in response to increased demand caused by extreme heat.
- The request followed forecasts of heat waves causing temperatures to reach the 90s and 'feels like' over 100, which significantly raised electricity demand.
- TVA has activated a public appeal urging customers to reduce electricity use by postponing the operation of large appliances, increasing thermostat settings, and switching off non-essential devices to help alleviate pressure on the power grid.
- Volunteer Energy Cooperative assured customers that the current ELCP measures should prevent any rolling blackouts, while Warren RECC encouraged simple energy-saving actions and urged the community to look out for vulnerable individuals and animals during this period.
- These measures aim to avoid mandatory outages and ensure reliable power, with TVA and utilities preparing to escalate actions if demand remains high or worsens.
