The normal rate for electricity usage at Robins is $.06 per KwH, but we operate under a Real Time Pricing agreement that allows Georgia Power to raise prices during peak demand periods. This increases the rate for electricity during the hours of 1 to 8 p.m,. to $.30 per KwH--a five-fold increase! 

We need your immediate help to reduce consumption during these peak hours. Please add emphasis to your existing conservation efforts and footstomp the following measures: 

-- Turn all lights off not necessary for operations

-- Turn off all chargers, fans, radios, TV, and other unessential electrical equipment

-- Reset AC thermostat in buildings not controlled by CE central thermostat to 78 degrees

-- Use fans to provide localized cooling, they're cheaper than air conditioning

-- Ensure exterior doors and windows remain closed

-- Consider moving the time of high energy use processes to non-peak hours

We are serious about energy savings and are implementing system-wide measures to reduce energy. We have a longstanding practice of setting air conditioning temps higher on weekends and holidays; this will continue and CE may adjust hours and settings further. In addition, CE will make weekday adjustments in AC thermostats. A few degrees less cooling could make a significant difference in our bill. 

 Please do your part in helping Robins save energy and cut energy costs.
