Summer temperatures are still going strong! Cooking indoors can quickly
raise the temperature in your home. Try grilling or using a griddle outdoors
instead. It’s an energy-efficient way to keep your home cooler, plus it’s a
great way to try out new recipes.

You have the power to make a big difference! When summer temps rise,
so does electric demand. You can help keep costs down for everyone.
Try turning up your thermostat a few degrees, closing blinds during the
day, switching off unused lights and waiting to run appliances until later
in the evening.
