Please note that official cooperative communications, in accordance with our bylaws, are conducted via the Ohio Cooperative Living magazine that all member

s receive each month and not on this page.

It may be the start of the "Brrr" months, but this summer heat is hanging on!

Today's heat and humidity has prompted an active peak alert for PJM, including the activation of load control devices. This will begin at 4 p.m. Electric demand is highest during these times, and when demand is high, so are prices. Here's how you can help:

✔️ Use fans instead of lowering the thermostat
✔️ Run the dishwasher, do laundry, and take showers during off-peak hours
✔️ Close the blinds and curtains to block out heat from the sun
✔️ Turn off all unnecessary lights and electronics

UPDATE: 11:40 - Power has been restored to all members at this time.

Crews discovered a tree on a three phase line this morning in that has required an outage to repair the damage to the equipment, resulting in a little more than 400 members without power in Ruggles Township and the surrounding areas.

Crews are working now, and we hope to have power restored as quickly (but safely!) as possible. We appreciate your patience.

That summertime heat is still here! Are you watching your Time-of-Day Schedule to minimize your usage when demand is at its peak?

LMRE’s summer schedule is from May 23 – Sept. 22. On-Peak Hours are Monday – Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Off-Peak Hours are weekends, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, plus all other hours not listed.

By shifting high-energy tasks to times when demand is lower, you can help reduce strain on the grid and avoid peak charges, helping to reduce your energy bill.
