Thanks, Ursula and Trish.

I was surprised that the peak starts at 4pm, later than I had guessed, and that there are very few days when this alert is necessary. Today is one of them. Let's shave the peak by conserving energy between 4pm and 8pm today!

Not rendering correctly? View this email as a web page here. Ursula, there's a Peak Alert today 4-8pm Tuesday, July 9th - there is a good chance the electric grid may need to rely on dirty peaker plants to meet demand. Let's do what we can to reduce that need! Conserve electricity from 4-8pm. Turn the air conditioner up a few degrees, or off if you can manage. Pro tip: "Pre-cool" before peak time with AC, then use fans during peak time (they use far less electricity). If you have a heat pump, don't turn it off. Just adjust the temperature by a few degrees. Avoid running dishwasher, washer, or dryer. Unplug electric vehicles or set their charging timers to start after 8pm. Download ISO-To-Go! You can experience peak in real time, and see the effect of solar, if you download our grid operator's cool ISO-To-Go app. Your alerts information: Text: You do not receive text alerts.

To opt out of alerts: Text STOP to 617-553-6496 Manage you email preferences (scroll to the bottom of this email) and uncheck "Shave the Peak alerts" By conserving together at the same time, we can show legislators support for a more resilient electricity system, and hopefully help reduce the need for fossil fuels.
