Coast Electric Members Should Reduce Electricity Use

Coast Electric is experiencing a critical shortage of electricity. All of members are asked to reduce their electricity use until further notice. Please turn off all non-essential lighting, appliances and electronics.  Extremely low temperatures, is causing a strain on the electrical system. Coast electric is asking users to lower your home’s thermostat to 68 degrees. Also, you can reduce your use of water heaters, electric ovens, washing machines and dryers. If the situation does not improve, the next step will be to enact the electric cooperative’s emergency load reduction plans, which may result in a loss of electricity for members on a rotating basis.

Please Note:

At this time, this does not apply to members dependent upon life supporting medical devices; however, consider making plans for these individuals in case interruption of electric service becomes necessary.
