| Peak Alerts |
 |
| As energy use and energy prices continue to rise, our voluntary Peak Alert program has become more important than ever to temper energy use on high-demand days. These alerts are only issued when absolutely necessary (typically around five times per year), but the number of alerts can vary as much as Minnesota weather. Extreme weather often triggers an alert, and the majority of the time extreme heat, rather than cold, is the culprit. Click here for more information on how Peak Alert participation benefits the entire community. |

| Be a small part of something big |
| Peak Alerts are not often called, but when they are we ask that every resident and business take them seriously and do their part. Every small action counts, and the cumulative effect becomes substantial. Though it’s a voluntary program, Peak Alert periods are necessary to keep our energy costs in line.
When a Peak Alert is issued, we announce it that morning on local radio and television stations. In addition, we’ve started a program to email information to residents and businesses. To subscribe to this email service, please send an email to peakalert@austinutilities.com and type “Add me to your list” in the subject line. |
