​What can I do to reduce my electricity usage on Energy Savings Days?

There are many ways to reduce your electricity usage during an Energy Savings Day, but the most impactful savings tip is to raise the temperature (preferably 78ºF) of your thermostat or turn the air conditioner off altogether if possible. For more ways to save, visit our Energy Savings Day Tips page or check out real customer stories.
