Osage Valley Electric Cooperative peak alert

Due to an unseasonably hot weather pattern, unplanned outages at three generating units and projections of declining wind later this week, our power supplier is asking Osage Valley Electric members to “voluntarily” conserve energy on Thursday June, 16th and Friday June, 17th from 2 - 8 p.m., when peak energy use will occur.

During Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, our members made a difference by conserving energy to help the system through that event.

We know we can count on you once again! Here are ways you can help:

Raise thermostats a few degrees. Any increase from the usual will help.

Limit the use of large appliances such as your washer and dryer.

Unplug devices that are not in use.

Turn off unnecessary lights.
