"REDUCE THE PEAK ALERT NOTIFICATIONS" EXPLAINED

RMLP Reduce The Peak Alert graphic

Occasionally, Rowley Municipal Lighting Plant issues “Reduce The Peak Alert Notifications”. These are usually announced due to extremely high or low temperatures and projected high energy use during a specific short period of time. During these periods, the price of buying electricity from our suppliers substantially increases. If customers voluntarily cut back at these times, it helps RMLP keep everybody’s longterm electric rates lower.

Get answers to your questions in our RMLP “Reduce The Peak Alert Notifications” flyer.
