This week marks the official start of summer, and high temperatures are already here. The past two summers have brought some of the hottest weather on record – reaching three-digit temperatures across our service area and leading to record-level electricity usage by our customers. While many factors impact customer energy bills, usage and weather are leading contributors.

Because our customers live in areas prone to some of the most severe weather in the country, we prepare for the worst of what Mother Nature might bring. Day after day and year after year, we stand storm ready. We have a proven plan of continuous preparation, planning and training. As severe weather threatens, we monitor, mobilize and act.
