JOHNSON, Vt. (AP) - Vermont Electric Cooperative in Johnson is encouraging customers to reduce their electricity use Thursday and Friday during high temperatures forecast throughout New England, when demand for electricity is expected to spike.
The member-owned utility is advising customers to turn off unnecessary lights; delay the use of major appliances like dishwashers and washing machines until after the alert time has passed; and reduce the use of air conditioning as much as safely possible.
Temperatures are expected to be in the 80s and 90s around Vermont on Thursday and Friday.
VEC serves about 32,000 customers in northern Vermont.
