MiEnergy Cooperative Issues Peak Alert for Tuesday Morning

MiEnergy has issued another Peak Alert  due to high demand for electricity on the regional grid. 

The Cooperative is calling for electricity conservation from 6:55 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31. MiEnergy notes that elevated peak demand leads to higher power costs during the Peak Alert. Members can help keep rates stable and affordable by conserving electricity during the Peak Alert period. Members enrolled in Interruptible Heating/Dual Fuel will have their heating equipment managed during this time. Additional details can be found online at www.mienergy.coop/load-control-status.

 A merger of Hawkeye REC, of Cresco and Tri-County Electric Cooperative, of Rushford, Minnesota, MiEnergy maintains 5,500 miles of power lines covering most of Fillmore, Houston and Winona counties in Minnesota and Chickasaw, Howard and Winneshiek counties in Iowa, plus small pockets bordering those counties.
