Residents urged to Conserve Power

Duke Energy is asking customers to conserve power.  Power providers are being exhausted across the country with extreme cold weather driving up the use of electricity. Duke Energy is asking customers to select a comfortable setting when at home and to turn the thermostat down a degree or two if they leave for an extended period. Customers are also asked to leave drapes or blinds open to allow the sun’s rays to warm the house. If you lose power, Duke Energy customers should call 1-800-POWERON.
