Help Keep Costs L ow f or Ever yone: Beat the Peak! Keeping your costs manageable is always our goal. At Blue Ridge Energy, we’ve found a smart way for you to help! It’s called Beat The Peak, and it’s all about working together to keep electricity affordable for our community. Think of “peaks” as those short times when electricity is most expensive to buy. These are usually on the hottest summer weekdays (typically 2-7 P.M.) or the coldest winter mornings (6-9 AM) when everyone is consuming the most electricity. When you sign up for Beat The Peak, we’ll send you a quick text or email alert when one of these periods is expected. Then, you simply choose to make small, simple shifts. Actions like adjusting your thermostat, turning off unnecessary lights, or delaying laundry until after the peak are easy steps you can take. When our members voluntarily reduce their electricity usage during these peak times, it makes a big difference in controlling our power purchase costs, helping to keep rates — and your bills — low for everyone. It’s free, it’s voluntary, and it truly makes a difference. Learn more or sign up at BlueRidgeEnergy.com/BTP. Or simply text “btp” to 70216 to join!
