Thank you for your patience and your voluntary conservation of power. We continue working with reliability coordinator Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) to monitor, in real time, the balance of the power generation supply compared to the extremely high customer demand we are experiencing. Last night, residential, commercial and industrial were all asked to decrease their electrical usage from 5 to 10 p.m., as directed by from MISO, and as a result of your participation, the system was successfully able to avoid mandatory outages.
