According to TVA, the snow and bitterly cold temperatures could set an all-time record for power demand. Unlike gas or water, electricity cannot be stored, it has to be generated based on demand. During these times, It’s important to conserve as best as you can. Here’s how:

-Turn off nonessential lights

-Reduce the use of nonessential appliances

-Unplug unused devices

-Set your thermostat as low as comfortably possible

-Use rolled up towels or draft dodgers at the base of doors to keep out the cold
