Dominion Energy and other utility companies are experiencing high demand on the electric system that will continue for the next few days. Customers are asked to reduce their energy usage over these next few days to help protect the stability of the electric system.
Customers can do several things to reduce their energy use:
-- Set thermostats to 68 degrees or lower.
-- Turn off non-essential internal and external lights.
-- Unplug non-essential appliances and devices.
-- Limit the use of major power-consuming equipment such as dishwashers, washers and dryers.
-- Ensure HVAC vents are open and unobstructed.
Dominion Energy also continues to respond to other weather-related outages across the system. The best way to report an outage and track restoration time is through the Dominion Energy mobile app or at DominionEnergy.com.
