TVA asks ‘voluntary curtailment’ during bitter cold

(TVA/Facebook, Steve Johnson/Unsplash, 256 Today)
HUNTSVILLE — Due to dangerously low temperatures forecast throughout the Tennessee Valley Authority service area and the expected high electric demand expected on its system, TVA has initiated voluntary curtailment across the region
In voluntary curtailment, customers are asked to reduce their electric consumption by turning off unneeded lights and by not using major appliances (ovens, washing machines, washers and dryers, etc.).
TVA is forecasting temperatures below freezing through Monday.
