Effective immediately, TVA and HES is asking all our customers to reduce load by turning off all unneeded lights, TVs, etc. and postponing use of electric appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, etc. until further notice.

These small reductions by each of TVA’s millions of customers can have a huge impact on overall energy usage and help us avoid stressing our generation and transmission grid and maintain reliability.

TVA, which provides power to 10 million people including the customers of HES, is expecting an all-time peak demand due to extremely low temperatures on Wednesday January 22nd, especially during the morning hours between 6am and 10am.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
