Summer Peak Alert!
Hot! Hot! Hot! Due to the extremely high temperatures today across our region a peak alert has been issued by Buckeye Power, our generating cooperative, with load control from 2 to 6 p.m., Wednesday, July 17th.
Please delay use of appliances (dishwashers, stoves/ovens, clothes washer and dryer, etc.) and turn your air conditioning up a few degrees until the load curtailment has ended. This will help you -- and all co-op members save by preventing our cost of purchased power from going up! It really matters! Your help is appreciated by all members. Please share and know we appreciate your patience and cooperation Thank you!
The NRECA green ball symbol was designed to represent electric lines crossing the green rolling hills of America’s countryside. It reflects the power of the countryside, the strength, and unity of the rural electrification program and the history and longevity of the national network of electric cooperatives.
LOAD CONTROL/PEAK ALERT has ended for Tuesday, July 16. Thanks to those who could contribute to load reduction. Load Control is forecast for the rest of this week, we will post as we are notified of the times. Thanks again.

The regional transmission organization interconnection that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity and ensures power supplies for 65 million people in all or parts of 13 states & D.C. has forecast load control requirements every day this week. We will notify you as we are notified of the specific times. When the combined efforts of 18,600 consumers of Buckeye REC make an effort during those hours it can have a significant impact on our future cost of power. So....you're individual efforts combined all add up. Thanks again!
