The NPU efficiency team is leading the community by providing various tips and incentives to help reduce peak electricity usage and control electricity costs for all consumers.

High-demand days are based on temperature, humidity and time of year, and usually occur during July and August. ISO New England calls these “degree days” and issues alerts so that areas can reduce strain on the energy system infrastructure.

The NPU team has created Power Alert Days, which correspond to ISO New England’s degree days. By lowering peak-period energy demand, everyone can lower their bills.

Power Alert Notice:

A Power Alert is in effect for Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 19. Please initiate energy efficiency measures.
