San Diego Gas & Electric has issued a call for its customers to conserver energy today (Thursday, Aug. 9) from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. since forecasts for high temperatures suggest that demand for electricity will be high: In a statement, SDG&E wrote: 

While we’re not experiencing a system emergency at this time, you can help reduce strain on the electric grid by reducing your electricity use between 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. TOMORROW. By doing so, you will be eligible to earn a bill credit of $0.75 per kilowatt hour saved.

To conserve energy, SDG&E is making the following suggestions: •  Raise your central A/C’s thermostat setting four to six degrees. •  Run major appliances before 11 a.m. or after 6 p.m. •  Unplug chargers and power strips. •  Turn off pool pumps between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Customers are encouraged to log on to My Account after the event by going to the My Energy tab and click on My Energy Use. Find your “Use Less Than” amount on the table and put your conservation plan in place to earn rewards. For more information, connect at sdge.com/reduceuse or see the video below:   Thank you,
