What is Beat The Peak?

 

During times when the cost to purchase and produce power for Members is high, we issue Beat the Peak alerts where we ask Members to conserve energy. We recommend you turn off unnecessary lights, delay the use of major appliances like dishwashers and dryers and turn your thermostat up a few degrees in the summer months and down a few degrees in the winter months. WREC is a not-for-profit electric utility which means the money saved is passed on to our Members in the form of affordable rates.
