HUNTSVILLE — Due to sustained cold temperatures forecast throughout the Tennessee Valley Authority service area and the subsequent high demand for electricity in the region, TVA is asking for voluntary curtailment across their entire system.
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/dryers, etc.).
The TVA is asking for customers to cut back from 6-10 a.m. Thursday and Friday.
Temperatures are expected to drop into the low teens tonight and Thursday night into Friday morning and won’t rise above freezing until Friday afternoon.
Huntsville Utilities will provide updates on its website (www.hsvutil.org) and social media pages as when additional information becomes available.
