With highs forecast to be at or above 100 degrees this week, CPS Energy is encouraging customers to voluntarily reduce their electricity use, especially during the peak hours of 2 - 7 p.m.
, the utility declared Monday and Tuesday as a Yellow Day for greater San Antonio. Customers are asked to conserve energy using the following tips:
Set thermostats two to three degrees higher from 2 – 7 p.m.; set programmable thermostats to higher temperatures when no one is home. The optimum energy-saving temperature is 78 degrees.Use fans to feel 4 to 6 degrees cooler. Remember: fans cool people by moving air across the skin. They don’t cool rooms and should be turned off in empty rooms.Close shades and blinds on windows exposed to direct sunlight.Set pool pumps to run early morning or overnight; shutoff from 2 – 7 p.m.
Customers are reminded that outages can happen that are unrelated to any grid conditions. Some common causes include vehicles hitting poles and animals or balloons that may get into power lines. Community cooling centers are open for customers experiencing an outage or who may need relief from the heat.
