It’s National Clean Energy Week, and #PublicPower is making sustainable
energy a priority. We invest in renewables like wind, solar and hydro, and
make energy efficiency and electrification part of our long-term strategy

This #NationalDogDay, keep your four-legged friends safe. Leaving pets
in cars during hot weather can be fatal — even with cracked windows. A
car’s interior heats up fast! Keep your furry friends home in a cool area
with plenty of fresh water. Learn more: ready.gov.

College students rely on electronics for everything!
When used improperly, these helpful gadgets can become electric
hazards. Follow these tips to prevent electric accidents and fires.
• Use extension cords temporarily
• Pick power strips with over-current protection
• Use correct bulb wattage (max 60W if unsure)
• Never run cords under rugs or pin to walls
• Don’t use damaged electronics (repaired or replaced)
Let’s keep our dorms safe and tech-friendly!

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.

Reliable and affordable energy you can count on.
