It is encouraging to learn that Texans are having the lights turned back on, but with this good news we do need to do our part to make sure that we do not overload the system as it is coming back up.
Here are few tips to help conserve energy right now:
Lower your thermostats to 68 degrees.
Close blinds to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows.
Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances (i.e washing machines, ovens, etc.).
Avoid using large appliances like opening your refrigerator.
